In Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, the vanishing point (the point where parallel lines converge to create perspective) is positioned at the top of Christ's head, which is also the exact center of the painting. This central vanishing point is the location of the greatest implied depth, as all receding lines in the composition lead to this spot, drawing the viewer's eye to Christ and creating the illusion of space extending toward that point.
