In the second video in our three-part series on Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, Jones Gallery curator and art historian Sarah Jones discusses Leonardo's remarkable treatment of narrative and composition in this painting. The artist's novel approach to this familiar story is revealed here especially in the psychological complexity and varied responses of the figures.
