The Last Supper 1564

Gaspare Osello’s engraving “The Last Supper” (1564) depicts the biblical event of Jesus Christ’s final meal with his disciples. The scene is set in a grand hall, with the table and figures rendered with meticulous detail. The dramatic use of light and shadow creates a sense of solemnity and emphasizes the importance of the moment. The inscription below the image, “Per Adorandae Majestatis Exemplum,” highlights the religious significance of the event. This artwork is an excellent example of Renaissance engraving, showcasing Osello's mastery of technique and his ability to evoke strong emotion through his art.
