Apostles Christ Jesus Principal Spalart Supper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving depicts The Last Supper, an iconic scene from Christian tradition, as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. The image, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages (1796), captures Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles gathered around a long table. Jesus is shown in the center, with his hands raised in blessing as he breaks the bread and shares the cup of wine. The apostles, dressed in the attire of the Middle Ages, are deeply engaged in the moment, their expressions reflecting a mix of awe, curiosity, and devotion. The Last Supper is a significant event in Christian history, marking the final meal that Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion. According to the Gospel accounts, it was during this meal that Jesus instituted the Eucharist, the sacrament commemorating his death and resurrection. This image, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the story of Jesus and his apostles in a profound and meaningful way. Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages was a groundbreaking work, featuring meticulously researched and beautifully executed illustrations of historical figures and their attire. This engraving, in particular, is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to historical accuracy, making it a valuable resource for scholars, artists, and anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the Middle Ages.
