"Exploring the Rich Tapestry of First Century Christianity: From Last Supper to Resurrection" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating world of first century Christianity. Witness Jesus Christ and his apostles gathered around the table at the iconic Last Supper, a powerful moment captured in print that forever changed history. Marvel at Peter's extraordinary act as he extracts a coin from a fish, depicted in stunning detail on the fresco adorning Santa Maria del Carmine, 1428. This miraculous event serves as a testament to faith and divine providence. Experience the awe-inspiring Resurrection through an exquisite oil painting on panel. The artist's brushstrokes bring this pivotal moment to life, evoking both wonder and reverence for Christ's triumph over death. Delve into religious symbolism with Lodovico Pogliaghi's masterpiece - The Flagellation of Christ - showcased on one of Duomo di Milano's main bronze doors. This poignant depiction forms part of Virgin Mary's Pains series, inviting contemplation upon her son's sacrifice. Transport yourself to another era with an intriguing lithograph capturing the tragic Fire at Bazar de la Charite in 1897. Although unrelated directly to first century Christianity, it reminds us that faith endures even amidst adversity. Admire The Averoldi Polyptych fresco from 1522, which showcases intricate details and vibrant colors depicting various biblical scenes. Each panel tells its own story while collectively offering insight into early Christian beliefs. Explore engravings such as The Opening of the Fifth and Sixth Seals (1522) or The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse (1511), revealing vivid imagery inspired by apocalyptic visions found within ancient texts like Revelation. Witness another resurrection scene portrayed on copper canvas; here we find The Resurrection of Christ (1622). Its delicate brushwork captures hope springing forth from darkness once more – a testament to the enduring power of faith.
