This woodcut by Hans Schäufelein, created in 1517, depicts the biblical scene of the Last Supper. Christ sits at the center of the table, surrounded by his disciples, as he shares a meal with them before his betrayal and crucifixion. The scene is rendered in a detailed and expressive style, with the figures portrayed with great realism and individuality. The artwork is part of the series “Das Plenarium,” a collection of woodcuts depicting scenes from the Bible and the lives of saints. This print is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
