About this work

This painting is a triptych—a three-panel work—showing the Last Supper in the center and two donors kneeling on the side panels. The glass is painted from behind, so the colors glow like stained glass. It’s the oldest surviving example of *verre églomisé* (reverse painting on glass) from the northern Netherlands. The donors, a nun and a priest, paid for it, and their faces are still sharp after 500 years. The frame is original, too—rare for something this old.
