EDITORS COMMENTS
**The Last Supper: A Masterpiece of Mannerist Art**
In this stunning black and white engraving, Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius brings to life a pivotal moment in the Passion of Christ. Plate one from his series "The Passion of Christ", created in 1598, depicts Jesus sharing a meal with his twelve apostles on the eve of his betrayal.
As candlelight casts an intimate glow over the scene, we see Jesus at center table, breaking bread and pouring wine for His disciples. The apostles' faces are etched with varying degrees of curiosity, concern, and devotion as they gather around their leader. Goltzius's masterful use of shading creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in this architectural setting.
This engraving not only showcases the artist's skill but also testifies to his deep understanding of biblical narrative. The Last Supper has become an iconic representation of Jesus' sacrifice, symbolizing His institution of the Eucharist (Communion) before facing arrest and crucifixion.
Goltzius's work is a testament to the enduring power of art in capturing the essence of faith and human experience. This engraving stands as a masterpiece within Heritage Images' collection, offering viewers an unparalleled glimpse into 16th-century artistic expression and spiritual contemplation.
