The Last Supper 1544

This 16th-century engraving, "The Last Supper" by Léonard Limosin, depicts the biblical scene of Jesus sharing a meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. The artist skillfully utilizes hatching and cross-hatching to create a sense of depth and dimension. The composition is dominated by the central figure of Jesus, surrounded by his disciples. The scene is framed by a decorative architectural structure with cherubs and angels, emphasizing the importance and solemnity of the event. This work highlights Limosin's mastery of Renaissance-era engraving techniques, and it is a valuable artistic representation of a pivotal moment in Christian faith.
