COMMENTARY
UNDERLINED TERMS ARE DEFINED IN THE GLOSSARY.
The trapezoid of the white table cloth, the distribution of the figures around it and their convergence on the central figure of Christ, as well as the subtle rhythm of the different colours, all conspire to endow this complex composition with a profound pictorial unity.
