EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Last Supper (with Luther amongst the Apostles), Reformation altarpiece" painted between 1539 and 1543. The artwork, found in the collection of Pfarrkirche St. Marien zu Wittenberg in Germany, holds immense historical and religious significance. In this Renaissance masterpiece, Lucas Cranach skillfully depicts Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles gathered around a table during their last meal together. However, what sets this painting apart is the inclusion of Martin Luther among the disciples. Luther's presence symbolizes his pivotal role in the Protestant Reformation movement that swept across Europe during the 16th century. The composition exudes loyalty and faith as each figure gazes intently at Jesus while partaking in the Eucharist sacrament of bread and wine. Mary Magdalene, portrayed as a devoted disciple of Christ, is also prominently featured. Through vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork, Cranach captures both the solemnity and spiritual essence of this biblical event. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of Christian liturgy but also stands as a testament to Martin Luther's profound impact on Christianity. As we admire this oil-on-wood masterpiece by Cranach, we are reminded of how art can transcend time to convey powerful messages about belief systems and cultural movements that have shaped our world for centuries.
