Perhaps we should not call this a portrait. A portrait is a representation of one or more persons in order to present them as individuals. In the 'Last Supper' the group action is central, not which disciple is which.

The size is 460 x 880 cm.

In a Florence monastery Andre del Castagno painted the 'Last Supper' with the dimensions 453x975 cm.

There are other very large paintings of this subject.

Is supper bad?

This was categorized under 'The Last Supper', so I'm going to conclude that you were referring to that. The Last Supper was not bad, however what proceeded the day after and what the Last Supper stood for is rather grotesque.The Last Supper was, in the New Testament, the Last Supper that Jesus ate with his disciples, and the one in which he gave his last words of wisdom. The proceeding day, Jesus was set to be crucified, and hence the celebration of Easter.


Why is the Last Supper called the Last Supper and not the last dinner?

For purely cultural reasons. Some call it the last meal, for instance. To some, "dinner" and "supper" mean the same meal, for others they have both a dinner and a supper everyday, for instance on a farm: breakfast in the morning, then lunch, then dinner, then after the last work of the day, supper.
