The Last Supper, 1922 - A Captivating Performance of Betrayal and Faith
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in the Oberammergau Passion Play, performed every ten years by the inhabitants of the village of Oberammergau in Bavaria, Germany. The play tells the powerful story of Jesus' passion and crucifixion, drawing audiences from all corners of the world. In this scene from 1922, we witness Henry Traut's artistic interpretation of "The Last Supper". Anton Lang takes on the role of Jesus Christ with remarkable conviction while Melchior Breitsamter portrays St. John alongside Andreas Lang as St. Peter. Dressed in elaborate costumes that transport us back to biblical times, these talented actors bring depth and emotion to their roles. Jesus predicts his imminent betrayal by one of his apostles during this poignant meal. Despite their assertions to the contrary, tension fills the air as each disciple grapples with their own doubts and fears. Traut masterfully captures this moment through color and composition, highlighting both human vulnerability and divine purpose. The Oberammergau Passion Play has become an iconic tourist attraction due to its rich history dating back to 1634. This enduring tradition showcases not only exceptional acting talent but also serves as a testament to faith and community spirit. Henry Traut's postcard immortalizes this extraordinary performance for generations to come—a reminder that even amidst betrayal lies an unwavering message of hope and redemption.
