EDITORS COMMENTS
Jean Alexandre Joseph Falguiere's captivating masterpiece, "La Cène" (The Last Supper), painted around 1898, transports us back to the 19th century and invites us to witness an intimate moment from the New Testament. This academic painting, showcasing the biblical scene of Christ and the Apostles gathered around a long table, is a testament to Falguiere's exceptional artistic skill. The setting is a loggia, an architectural feature common in Mediterranean countries, with the tranquil sound of running water from a nearby mountain stream adding to the serene atmosphere. The room is bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, casting long shadows and illuminating the intricate details of the furniture and architectural features. Christ, depicted as Christ Antiphonetes, sits at the head of the table, surrounded by the twelve Apostles. Their faces, each unique in expression, reveal the human emotions and intrigue that unfolded during this pivotal moment in Christian history. The painting's rich color palette and meticulous brushwork bring the scene to life, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the heritage of art and the history of Parisian museums. This oil on canvas painting, a true masterpiece from the 19th century, is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to different times and places. It can be found in the Petit Palais, one of the most esteemed museums in Paris, and is a reminder of the incredible artistic legacy left behind by Jean Alexandre Joseph Falguiere.
