EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Pieter Jansz. Pourbus' masterpiece, "The Last Supper" painted in 1548. The oil on panel artwork measures 46.5x63 cm and is housed in the Groeningemuseum in Bruges, Belgium. "The Last Supper" depicts the iconic biblical scene of Jesus Christ sharing his final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. Pourbus skillfully portrays each apostle's unique reaction to Jesus' shocking announcement of betrayal by one among them. The painting is an allegory filled with symbolism and emotion. The artist uses vivid colors and intricate details to convey a sense of surprise, shock, and treachery within the room. As we observe the disciples' expressions ranging from disbelief to horror, our attention is drawn to Judas Iscariot, who personifies betrayal itself. Pourbus adds an element of fantasy by including monstrous creatures surrounding the table - mythical beasts that symbolize evil forces at play during this significant moment in history. Through this allegorical representation, Pourbus invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as avarice, loyalty, faithfulness, and ultimately the power of redemption through Christ's sacrifice. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and delve into the depths of emotion conveyed by Pourbus' masterful technique. It serves as a reminder of both artistic brilliance and profound spiritual significance found within biblical narratives like "The Last Supper. "
