The Last Supper (Schr. 176a) 15th century

This 15th-century miniature, "The Last Supper," by an anonymous artist, depicts Jesus with his disciples gathered around a table. The vibrant colors and detailed figures are characteristic of German art of the period. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the use of watercolor and gold leaf techniques popular during the Middle Ages. This small yet striking piece offers a glimpse into the devotional practices and artistic styles of the 15th century.
