Last Supper Oil Painting?

Question

Not Da Vinci's! Painted around the same time period but depicts last supper as taking place in a large hall with a busy daily life going on around them- dogs running, maids working, kids playing etc. Who painted it?

Thanks Zwolle, but the one I'm thinking of has the table sitting vertically in the canvas and is not the most prominent action going on. The painting serves to show that the Last Supper was more about something special occuring at an everyday affair rather than some ornate uber-spiritual happening.

Darbinators suggestion is the closest so far. The one I remember was much lighter and not quite so baroque. The point of view is from further away- almost as if the viewer is seeing the happenings from a second floor overlookng the action. There's no halo or light surrounding Jesus. Thanks for all your help guys!

Answer 1

Are you talking about Tintoretto's Last Supper?

Answer 2

There are several candidates but I would suggest the following as a viable candidate...

"""This enormous and sumptuous "Last Supper" (5.55M high and 13.10M wide), now occupies the entire end wall of the huge Room 10 of the Accademia.
It was painted by Veronese in 1573 for the refectory of SS Giovanni e Paolo. He was hauled before the Inquisition on 8 July 1573 and asked to explain himself ..........
Q: What is the meaning of those men dressed in the German fashion each with a halberd* in his hand?
A: We painters take the same licence that is permitted to poets and jesters. I have placed these two halberds - the one eating the other drinking - by the staircase, to be supposed ready to perform any duty that may be required of them; it appearing to me quite fitting that the master of such a house, who was rich and great (as I have been told), should have such attendants.
Q: That fellow dressed like a buffoon, with the parrot on his wrist - for what purpose is he introduced into the canvas?
A: For ornament, as is usually done.
Q: Were you commissioned by any person to paint Germans and buffoons, and such like things in this picture?
A: No, my lord.
Q: Does it appear to you fitting that at our Lord's last supper you should paint buffoons, drunkards, Germans, dwarfs, and similar indecencies?
A: No, my lord
* A halberd was a combination spear and battle axe.
This was clearly not a meeting of minds. The inquisitors suggested several changes to the painting, probably relating to the removal of Germans and buffoons etc, but in the end nothing at all was changed and a very Italian solution was negotiated - the work was retitled "The Feast at the House of Levi".
This account is taken from an accessible and very entertaining paperback book "A Literary Companion to Venice" by Ian Littlewood, which became our constant companion over coffee, lunch, drinks etc as we explored this fascinating and unique city.""


OR THIS ONE IS EQUALLY BUSY----
""At 3.65M by 5.68M, this slightly smaller work by Tintoretto, the Ghirlandaio of Venetian Last Suppers, is in San Giorgio Maggiore::
