Question illustration
Answer

Answer:

The painting is Leonardo da Vinci’s *The Last Supper*. It uses one-point linear perspective, with the vanishing point located near Jesus’s head in the center of the composition. The ceiling beams, side walls, window edges, and long edges of the table act as orthogonal lines that lead toward the vanishing point. These lines focus the viewer’s attention on Jesus as the central figure.
