EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the altarpiece, "Last Supper" painted on wood by the Norwegian School in the 18th century. Located in Giske Church, More og Romsdal, Norway, this masterpiece is an integral part of local history and culture. The intricate carving work was skillfully executed by Tavle Jakob (Jacob D. Giskegaard), a talented craftsman from the region. Originally constructed in the 12th century and later refurbished in the 1750s, Giske Church stands as a testament to architectural beauty and religious devotion. The altarpiece itself depicts the poignant moment of Jesus Christ sharing his last meal with his twelve apostles before his crucifixion. The polychrome wooden sculpture portrays each disciple with remarkable precision and attention to detail. Their expressions convey a range of emotions – from awe to contemplation – as they gather around a table filled with symbolic elements representing their faith. The vibrant colors used in this artwork add depth and intensity to its overall composition. With halos illuminating their heads, these apostles come alive through Clement Guillaume's lens, capturing not only their physical presence but also their spiritual significance. This print serves as both an homage to Norwegian craftsmanship and an invitation for viewers to delve into the rich narrative depicted within this extraordinary altarpiece.
