This woodcut by Johann Ringmann from 1507, titled *Der text des Passions oder leydens christi auß den vier evangelisten zusammen in ein Sinn bracht mit schönen figuren* (The text of the Passion or suffering of Christ brought together from the four evangelists into one sense with beautiful figures), depicts the Last Supper, a pivotal event in Christian tradition. The scene, rendered in stark black and white, features Jesus and his apostles gathered around a table, with a woman serving a dish. The woodcut's detailed architectural background creates a sense of depth and context, while its clear depiction of the Last Supper makes this work a valuable artifact for studying the history of art and religious imagery.
