The apostles, chosen by Jesus Christ himself, played a pivotal role in spreading his teachings and establishing the foundation of Christianity. Their unwavering faith and dedication to their mission are beautifully depicted in various artworks throughout history. In "Christ Washing the Disciples' Feet, " we witness an act of humility as Jesus washes his disciples' feet, symbolizing servitude and love. This powerful fresco from 1305 captures the essence of selflessness that defined these apostles. "Saint Matthew and the Angel" showcases a destroyed artwork but still resonates with its portrayal of divine guidance. Painted in 1602, this oil on canvas piece depicts Saint Matthew receiving inspiration from an angel, emphasizing the spiritual connection between heaven and earth.

Multiple depictions titled "Last Supper" further emphasize its importance within Christian artistry. These paintings capture different interpretations while highlighting unity among the apostles during this crucial gathering. "The Altarpiece of Holy Sacrament, " created between 1464-68 using oil on panel technique, presents another glimpse into religious devotion through intricate details surrounding The Last Supper scene—a testament to both artistic skill and spiritual significance.
