EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Norwegian painting of the Last Supper, dating back to the 13th century. The artwork originates from the apse of Stave church in Gol, Hallingdal, which was constructed around 1200 AD. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artifact beautifully captures the essence of Christianity during that era. The image depicts a solemn banquet scene where Jesus Christ shares his last meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. The men are gathered around a table, engaged in deep conversation and contemplation. Each figure is meticulously painted, conveying their individual emotions and personalities. This painting not only serves as a religious symbol but also represents concepts such as friendship and camaraderie among men. It offers us a glimpse into the cultural heritage of Norway and its rich history of religious artistry. Preserved for centuries within the walls of this ancient stave church, this Norwegian masterpiece stands as an enduring testament to human creativity and devotion. Its presence reminds us of our connection to our ancestors who sought solace and inspiration through their faith. As we admire this photograph print today, let us appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance while reflecting on how religion has shaped societies throughout time.
