The Last Supper

About this work

This engraving shows a long table with 13 men sitting around it. They’re all dressed in simple robes, and one man at the center looks calm while the others react with surprise or shock. The table is covered with a cloth, and there are plates, cups, and bread in front of them. A window in the back lets in light, and the room has stone walls and a wooden ceiling. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the scene feel detailed. The men’s faces show strong emotions, especially around the central figure. Look up engraving to see how artists like this one used metal plates and sharp tools to make prints.
