EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joos van Gent's masterpiece, "The Last Supper or, The Communion of the Apostles" painted in 1474. Measuring an impressive 311x335 cm, this oil on panel artwork can be found at the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino, Italy. In this Renaissance masterpiece, we witness a momentous event: Jesus Christ sharing his last meal with his apostles before his crucifixion. The composition is richly detailed and filled with symbolism. At the center of the table lies a host and chalice representing the body and blood of Christ during communion. Surrounding them are wafer-like breads symbolizing the Eucharist. An angel hovers above, adding an ethereal touch to this solemn scene. Notably, there is also a portrait of Montefeltro among the disciples—a nod to Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino and patron of Joos van Gent. "The Last Supper" captures both human emotion and divine presence through its portrayal of each disciple's reaction to Jesus' announcement that one among them will betray him. Their expressions range from disbelief to sorrowful contemplation. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Joos van Gent's skill as well as his ability to convey religious narratives with profound depth and beauty. It continues to inspire awe and reverence for its subject matter even centuries after its creation.
