Anonymous - The Last Supper

The Last Supper has been one of the most popular subjects since the dawn of Western sacred art. The episode, narrated in all the Gospels, is of fundamental importance to the Christian religion, as it represents the institution of the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Especially starting in the 13th century, artistic representations of the Last Supper have established certain customs that have endured over the centuries. Typically, the figures are arranged frontally behind the table on which the bread and wine are laid out. Christ is centrally positioned, blessing the food, while the twelve apostles are positioned to the sides. Judas is usually depicted on the sidelines, while Saint John, the beloved apostle, leans on Christ's shoulder. The present work reproduces Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, painted between 1495 and 1498 in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan.

The artist who created this bas-relief demonstrates his refined travertine skills. Indeed, he possesses excellent technical skill, as is evident in his replica of Leonardo's Last Supper, where he creates a true perspective box that respects the spatial concept conceived by the Renaissance master. The figures are sculpturally enhanced, in a balanced rhythm of mass and volume. Formally, the artist demonstrates a classical conception of sculptural art, attentive to the reproduction of the subject and the harmonious unity of the work. Also noteworthy is the technical quality in the execution of the frame, composed of elaborate lozenges.

The artist who created this work is a master travertine craftsman, possessing remarkable technique and drawing on a classical and traditional conception of artistic creation. As we can see in this work, the sculptor pursues a completely naturalistic rendering and a harmonious unity throughout the composition.
