A Última Ceia 1828

"A Última Ceia" (The Last Supper) painted in 1828 by Brazilian artist Mestre Ataíde, depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ sharing a meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. The composition is arranged around a long table, with Jesus seated at the center. A halo of light surrounds his head, emphasizing his divine status. The scene is imbued with a sense of solemnity, anticipating the events to come. This work is representative of Mestre Ataíde's style, characterized by vivid colors and expressive figures, common in Brazilian Baroque art.
