EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "La Cène" or "The Last Supper," was created by the renowned French academic painter, Jean Alexandre Joseph Falguiere, around 1898. The painting depicts a biblical scene from the New Testament, specifically the Gospel of John (13:21), where Jesus identifies Judas Iscariot as the betrayer during the Last Supper. Falguiere masterfully captures the essence of the scene, with Christ Antipas, one of the apostles, leaning towards Jesus in a moment of revelation. The setting is a loggia, an architectural feature common in Mediterranean countries, with columns and furniture typical of the period. The room is bathed in candlelight, casting long shadows and adding an air of mystery and intrigue. The painting's rich colors and oil on canvas technique bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a different time and place. The men, dressed in robes, are seated around tables, deep in conversation, their faces illuminated by the flickering candles. In the background, mountains rise, adding a sense of geographical and cultural context to the scene. This artwork is a testament to Falguiere's exceptional skill as a painter and his deep understanding of the biblical narrative. It is a valuable addition to the heritage of French art and can be found in the prestigious Petit Palais museum in Paris, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
