Why are there only eleven apostles depicted in Durer's painting 'The Last Supper'?
In Luke 22 Judas Betrays Jesus before the last supper. Durer did more than one image of the Last Supper, and at least one of them has 12 apostles in it. I think that I found the one you mean... a horizontal version that seems to be a picture of after Judas Iscariot left the meal. Addition: The reference to Luke 22 is misleading: In Luke 22:21 Jesus says:'Behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table'. And as the question implies, the custom is to portray 12 apostles in paintings of the 'Last Supper'. But it is true that Dürer includes only 11 apostles in the woodcut of 1523.
