Christ Instructing Peter and John to Prepare for the Passover 1504

This small painting by Vincenzo Civerchio depicts the moment when Christ instructs Peter and John to prepare for the Passover meal, a pivotal event in the Christian narrative. The scene is set within an architectural structure, suggesting a room or a courtyard, and Christ is at the center, his red garment standing out against the others. His hand gestures and determined gaze convey the gravity of his instructions, as Peter and John listen intently. This small yet impactful work, created in 1504, showcases Civerchio's skill in capturing a key moment from the Gospels, resonating with viewers who are familiar with the story.
