EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "The Last Supper". Painted between 1630 and 1632, this oil on panel artwork depicts Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles gathered around a table during their final meal together. The scene is bathed in a soft, ethereal light that adds to its profound significance. At the center of the composition sits Jesus, his gaze directed towards the heavens as he blesses the bread in his hand. A glass of wine stands before him, symbolizing the Eucharist and communion. Surrounding him are his disciples, each displaying a range of emotions - some weeping, others appearing tearful or sad. Notably present is Judas Iscariot, easily identifiable by his face turned towards us with a hand covering his mouth. His legs overlap awkwardly as if wrestling with guilt over his impending betrayal. Meanwhile, an oversized dog lies quietly beneath the table. Behind this solemn group rests a marble shelf resembling an altar adorned with two illuminated candles and an open book on a stand. These elements add to the sacred atmosphere surrounding this pivotal moment in Christian history. With its impeccable detail and emotional depth, Rubens' depiction of "The Last Supper" continues to captivate viewers centuries later. This remarkable print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Flemish master's talent while contemplating themes of faith, betrayal, and redemption within this iconic biblical event.
