EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'The Last Supper,' is a 17th century masterpiece created by the Dutch artist Jan Muller, also known as Jan Harmensz Muller. The image, dated around 1615-1620, depicts a group of men gathered around a long table, engaged in the act of feasting. At the center of the composition, Christ Jesus, with a serene expression, sits amongst his disciples. The Last Supper is a significant event in the New Testament of the Bible, marking the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples before his crucifixion. Muller's interpretation of this biblical scene is characterized by the Mannerist style, a period in European art history marked by an emphasis on grandeur, emotion, and intricacy. The artist's skillful use of contrast and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the figures and the table setting to life. The engraving on ivory laid paper adds to the timeless and evocative quality of the artwork. This precious piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries and the enduring influence of Christianity on European art. It can be found in the esteemed collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
