This pair of photo reproductions from the Rijksmuseum depicts a scene from the Last Supper. Though the artist is unknown, the work dates from before 1887 and shows an intimate depiction of the moment. The figures are arranged around a table, with Jesus Christ at the center, and the artwork captures their varied reactions to the event. The composition and the expressions of the figures reveal the drama and tension of the scene. The artwork is an example of religious art, and the use of photo reproduction reflects the technological advances of the 19th century. The work is an interesting example of the use of photographic technology to reproduce existing artworks and make them more accessible to the public.
