"description": "Because large prints were often displayed on a wall, they were susceptible to damage and often have not survived. This large print of the Last Supper, however, is in excellent condition. It was engraved on two plates and printed on two separate sheets of paper. The composition is believed to be a fairly close copy of a fresco by Perugino in the convent of San Onofrio in Florence, around 1495. The scene is set within an arched interior embellished by a frieze of eagles and by half pilasters with floral decorations and putti. Fluffy clouds are visible beyond the archways. Christ and the apostles are on a bench arranged behind the table. Judas, instead, sits on a stool in the middle of the room, looking over his shoulder towards the viewer. The engraver included two reliefs at both ends of the bench. The panel on the right shows Judas with four soldiers, while the one on the left features a knight, a squire, and a banner. On it, the letters LVC . . . TNO have been interpreted as the artist's signature.",

He was active in Florence during the last years of the fifteenth century. in 1503-1504, he worked as a painter in Verona. Between 1503 and 1526, he engraved numerous woodcut book illustrations in Venice. In these works, Lucantonio included the monogram with his initials in several different variations, such as L, LA, LAF, or LAFF, signifying \"Lucas Antonius Florentinus Fecit\". Recently, some scholars have argued that Lucantonio worked perhaps also in Milan and Esztergom in Hungary in the 1490s. Though a considerable number of woodcuts are attributed to Lucantonio, only eight engravings are accredited to him with any certainty.",
