11th Century Byzantine Fresco of the Last Supper in the Church of St. John, Gulsehir, Cappadocia, Turkey This stunning 11th-century Byzantine fresco, depicting the Last Supper, is a testament to the rich artistic and religious heritage of the Anatolian Peninsula. Located in the Church of St. John in Gulsehir, Cappadocia, Turkey, this masterpiece was carved into the rock and serves as a reminder of the region's deep historical significance. The Last Supper is a biblical narrative from the New Testament of the Bible, recounting the final meal that Jesus shared with his apostles before his crucifixion. In this exquisite fresco, we see Jesus and the twelve apostles gathered around a long table, with Jesus at the head. The apostles are shown in various postures, some reaching out to touch or speak with Jesus, while others appear deep in thought or engaged in conversation with one another. The intricate details of the fresco are awe-inspiring. The apostles are depicted with individualized features, and their expressions convey a range of emotions. The table is set with a cup and a fish, symbolizing the miraculous multiplication of loaves and fishes that occurred during this meal. The use of vibrant colors and bold lines adds to the dynamic energy of the scene. The Church of St. John, located in the heart of Cappadocia's unique landscape of fairy chimneys and rock-cut dwellings, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, art, or religion. The Byzantine fresco of the Last Supper is just one of the many treasures to be found within its walls, offering a glimpse into the Middle Ages and the rich cultural traditions of Turkey.
