Abstract:

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Glendale Springs houses a fresco painted by Ben Long of Statesville. The fresco depicts the Last Supper. Fresco is a style of painting where the artist paints directly on the wet plaster, thus infusing the paint with the wall. Long, an apprentice of Italian artist Pietro Annigoni, was awarded the Leonardo Da Vinci prize in 1975 as the most promising artist in Europe.
