Laatste Avondmaal 1591 - 1657

"Laatste Avondmaal" (The Last Supper) is an engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, a Dutch artist, dating back to 1591-1657. The scene depicts the final meal of Jesus with his disciples, emphasizing the importance of the Eucharist. The composition is divided into three sections: a central scene of the Last Supper, and two panels above and below with angels and symbolic elements. The central section shows Jesus and his disciples at a table, with details such as a rooster symbolizing Peter's denial. The angels and symbols contribute to the spiritual weight of the scene. This artwork is a significant example of religious art in the Dutch Renaissance and is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
