The Lord's Supper is the subject here, the last meal Jesus shared with his disciples before his arrest, a scene that has drawn artists for centuries and that Christians across many traditions mark in their worship. An engraved version like this one would have been made to be reproduced, so that a devotional image could reach households and churches far beyond the reach of a single painting. Engravers of the period often copied well-known compositions, which means the print can tell us as much about how the scene was circulated and understood as about the original artist's hand. Look closely at the arrangement of the figures around the table and the way light and line build the solemn atmosphere.
