Created by an anonymous artist between 1624 and 1700, the print depicts Jesus Christ and his disciples gathered around a table, with a radiant halo above Christ's head. The scene is framed by a ruined archway, adding a sense of historical weight and grandeur to the composition. The image is a testament to the enduring popularity of Leonardo's masterpiece, even centuries after its creation. This print, held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, highlights the artistic and devotional significance of "The Last Supper" for generations of artists and viewers.
