The Last Supper,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a masterpiece from the 15th century, is depicted in this exquisite illuminated manuscript, the Codex of Predis. Housed in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy, this work of art dates back to 1476 and is an exceptional example of Renaissance art. The scene portrays Jesus Christ in the midst of his twelve apostles, sharing a meal before his crucifixion. As they partake in the bread, Jesus makes a profound announcement that one of them will betray him. The image captures the moment of revelation, with Jesus raising his hand and pointing towards the traitor, whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. The apostles, depicted with halos and auras, react with shock and disbelief. Christ himself is shown with a serene expression, his face bathed in a soft, ethereal light. The table is set with fine glassware, adding an air of grandeur to the scene. This miniature painting, created by Cristoforo di Gerolamo, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the mediaeval age. The intricate details, from the folds in the apostles' robes to the delicate patterns on the tablecloth, demonstrate the skill and dedication of the artist. The Last Supper remains a powerful symbol of the Christian faith, and this illuminated manuscript is a beautiful and enduring representation of this significant moment in religious history.
