Apostles Disciple Disciples Eucharist Gilt Icon Judas Iscariot Orthodox Stylised Traitor Apostle
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Last Supper" a remarkable piece of art created by the Russian School in the 15th century. Measuring 80x61 cm, this tempera and gold leaf on panel masterpiece resides in the Cathedral of the Annunciation within The Kremlin, Moscow, Russia. The image captures an iconic moment from biblical history as Jesus Christ shares his final meal with his disciples. Rendered in a stylized manner typical of Orthodox iconography, this depiction portrays Jesus surrounded by his apostles. Each disciple is intricately detailed, their expressions conveying a range of emotions from reverence to confusion. The use of gilt adds an ethereal quality to the scene, enhancing its spiritual significance. Notably present among the disciples is Judas Iscariot, depicted as a traitor due to his betrayal of Jesus. This inclusion serves as a reminder that even amidst such sacred moments, human flaws and weaknesses persist. "The Last Supper" symbolizes more than just a shared meal; it represents the Eucharist and breaking of bread—a central sacrament in Christianity. Its gothic influences are evident through intricate architectural details surrounding the figures. Preserved for centuries within the walls of this historic cathedral, this artwork continues to inspire awe and contemplation today. Through this print captured by Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanimages. com, viewers can appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance while immersing themselves in Russian religious culture.
