Description
This is a reproduction of “The Last Supper” of 1647 by Nicolas Poussin. The paimting is inspired by institution of the central Christian rite of the Eucharist. In this depiction each disciple has a piece of bread and Christ holds the cup of wine in his left hand on the verge of passing it around to the disciples. He differed from traditional settings of the scene in that he wanted to show traditional Roman triclinia and a more communal scene. Poussin was born in Normandy and ran away to Paris when he was eighteen. He moved to Rome when he was thirty in the company of his friend Marino and secured the patronage of the Cardinal Barbarini. He participated in the emerging Roman Baroque style. He returned to France in 1640 and became First Painter to Louis XIII but returned to Rome in disgust at the intrigues of the French Court. He continued to work there but began to decline in health after 1650. He died in Rome in 1664 leaving no children. This masterpiece is an oil on canvas and measures 117 by 178 centimeters. It is in the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh.
