The entire Passion story is an exceptionally important part of Christian art - as it is to Christianity itself. All events from Jesus' arrest via the crowning of thorns, the sorrowful walk down Via Dolorosa and the following crucifixion have traditionally been divided according to a number of key events throughout the Passion of Christ. |

Although the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ is not as heavily featured in Christian art as the Passion, its symbolism and implications have had significant influence on Christian artists. The reason why the Ascension is not as often interpreted on canvas is most likely that it is only briefly mentioned in the gospels, relative to the very detailed account of the passion. |

Da Vinci's depiction of the Last Supper is clearly the most famous and most replicated piece of art from this event (and has also been used in many other contexts), but there are countless others as well. |
