Leonardo da Vici
(1452 - 1519)

The Last Supper

“A work of art whose consequences outlived every participant”

This fresco depicts Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles gathered for their final meal together before his crucifixion. The painting captures the moment Jesus announces that one among them will betray him.

Leonardo documented a gathering: fishermen, tax collectors, zealots, scribes—men of various backgrounds and temperaments. One a betrayer, some confused, some angry, some serene.

Each of these men went on to become foundational figures across the Mediterranean world and beyond. Their lives shaped the religious, cultural, philosophical, and political trajectory of human civilization.

Leonardo painted not just a meal, but a psychological and spiritual portrait of the moment before these men became the architects of a movement that would influence billions of people across several millennia.

The painting itself became one of the most reproduced, referenced, and reimagined images in Western art history, defining how many visualize that gathering.

Fjord Foxes applies this lens to contemporary gatherings — consciously, deliberately, and with care.

Fjord Foxes is a work of art.
