You see Jesus and twelve disciples seated at a long table under an arched room. The walls have eagles carved into them, and the scene is split across two sheets of paper. This isn’t a painting—it’s a print, made from two engraved metal plates. Most big prints from this time got damaged or lost, but this one survived in great shape. It copies a fresco by Perugino, showing how artists shared ideas across Italy. To see how prints like this spread art, look up *Italy, 16th century*.
