Philips Galle's "Laatste avondmaal" is an etching depicting the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples. This artwork, dating back to 1585-1586, showcases Galle's meticulous attention to detail and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrast between light and shadow. The print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery in art. Its depiction of the biblical event resonated with viewers of the time, making it a significant piece in the 16th-century artistic landscape.
