The Last Supper is a 1618 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a group of 13 men sitting around a table, eating. One man at the center has a glowing halo behind his head. The others look surprised or confused, some reaching for food. The lines are sharp and busy, with dark shadows and a starburst of light above the haloed man. Notice how the artist used fine lines to create texture—even the tablecloth looks woven. The scene feels crowded but controlled, with every face and hand drawn carefully. Want to see more? Look up etching to learn how artists like this made prints.
