1688 Biblical Dinner Disciple Disciples Gospel Jesus Meal Supper Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
The Last Supper," a captivating 17th-century artwork by an unknown artist, depicts a pivotal moment from the New Testament's Gospel of John (13:21). This evocative print, dating back to the year 1688, transports us back in time to an intimate scene of Jesus and his twelve disciples gathered around a simple table for their final meal together before his crucifixion. The composition of this masterpiece is rich in symbolism and detail. At the center sits Jesus, his face serene and expressive, as he washes the feet of his disciples, symbolizing humility and servitude. The disciples, each with unique facial expressions and postures, engage in animated conversation, revealing their individual personalities and emotions. The table, laden with bread and wine, symbolizes the institution of the Eucharist. The Last Supper is a visual testament to the deep bond between Jesus and his disciples, as well as the complexities and tensions that existed among them. The artist masterfully captures the human element of the scene, inviting us to reflect on the profound significance of this biblical event and its enduring impact on Christianity. This exquisite print, preserved and available for us to appreciate through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the artistic and spiritual heritage of the past. It serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of art to inspire, educate, and connect us to the stories and values that shape our world.
