Laatste avondmaal after 1578

This is an engraving of the Last Supper by an anonymous artist. The image depicts the final meal of Jesus with his apostles, a scene laden with social and religious implications. The absence of a known author challenges traditional notions of authorship and artistic identity. The print’s stark contrasts and detailed rendering invite us to consider the historical context of its creation, likely within a religious or didactic framework. The setting is a classical interior. The table becomes a stage for human drama. Note the figures. Who looks weary? Who looks confused? Who looks betrayed? The emotional weight of this moment—the betrayal, the impending sacrifice—resonates across centuries. This artwork acts as a mirror, reflecting our own struggles with faith, doubt, and the weight of history.
