Completed in 1955 after nine months of work, Salvador Dalí’s painting The Sacrament of the Last Supper has remained one of his most popular compositions. Since its popularity at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where almost upon its arrival in 1955 it replaced Renoir’s A Girl with a Watering Can as the most popular piece in the museum, the piece has continued to draw interest. The combination of what seems a classic Christian theme with the jarring techniques of Surrealism captures the eye, as Dali was able to do repeatedly with such works as The Temptation of St. Anthony, Christ of Saint John of the Cross, Crucifixion or Corpus Hypercubus, The Madonna of Port Lligat, Nuclear cross, and The Ecumenical Council, among others. The composition was laid out using the Golden Ratio.
