ORCAGNA
(b. ca. 1308, Firenze, d. ca. 1368, Firenze)

Last Supper (fragment)

1353-54
Fresco
Cenacolo di Santo Spirito, Florence

While the figures in Orcagna's in earlier works rather stocky, they become more slender in his later paintings. This is particularly clear in the (fragmentary) Last Supper in the refectory of Santo Spirito in Florence. Taddeo Gaddi painted a Last Supper (c. 1360) in the refectory of Santa Croce in direct rivalry with Orcagna's version.
