The Last Supper is a 1618 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a group of men gathered around a table, eating together. One man at the center holds his hands up, drawing attention. The room looks grand, with tall columns and a bright light shining down. Some men are standing, others are seated, and one dog rests by a basket in the corner. The artist used sharp lines to show the drama and movement in the scene. The text at the bottom is in Latin, which means it’s not meant for casual reading—it’s more about the mood. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
