You see Jesus and twelve disciples seated at a long table under a stone archway, sharing a final meal. This isn’t a painting—it’s a print, carved into metal plates and printed on two sheets of paper. Most big prints like this got damaged or lost, but this one survived in great shape. It copies a fresco by Perugino, adding tiny eagles and fake columns to frame the scene. To see how Perugino painted the same moment, look up *subject: italy, 16th century*.
