If you want a real answer: it’s painted on a wall in a monastery dining room. So all the monks would basically eat at the same banquet as jesus every day.
Truth is there were people sitting on all sides of the table but DaVinci didn’t think people would like a painting mostly of the back of their chairs and heads and invented a device to hide them so he could paint the rest as if they weren’t there. And because of that, people thought there were only 12 disciples, but there were actually 13, plus about 7 fringe group members that weren’t that into Jesus but liked his fan club so would come to hang with them.
Why did Jesus and all of his disciples sit on the same side of the table at the last supper?

Okay, but how did Jesus know where it would be painted when he was making the seating chart?
@logicbomb @wieson he didn’t. Everyone just randomly picked a side, and all picked that side.
Like a coin landing heads up 14 times.
A miracle.
It’s even worse than that because a table has four sides. So, it’s like a four-sided coin getting heads 14 times.

The artist cut the table in half and turned it in post. It’s actually a panorama.
Cause it’s pretty difficult to paint a selfie.
Another good question!
