Painting Description
"The Large Passion: 9. Last Supper" is a notable woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of a series of woodcuts known as "The Large Passion." This series, which includes twelve woodcuts and a title page, was completed between 1496 and 1511. The "Last Supper" woodcut, specifically, is a representation of the biblical scene where Jesus Christ shares his final meal with his twelve apostles before his crucifixion, a pivotal moment in Christian theology.
Dürer's interpretation of the Last Supper is remarkable for its intricate detail and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures. Unlike Leonardo da Vinci's famous rendition, which presents the apostles on one side of the table, Dürer's composition places them around the table, offering a more traditional viewpoint. This allows for a dynamic interaction between the characters and emphasizes the communal nature of the meal.
The woodcut measures approximately 39.5 cm by 28.2 cm and is characterized by its high level of craftsmanship, a testament to Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium. The work showcases Dürer's skill in using contrasting areas of light and dark to create depth and texture, a technique known as chiaroscuro. The "Last Supper" is not only significant for its artistic excellence but also for its contribution to the dissemination of the Passion narrative during the Northern Renaissance.
As part of "The Large Passion" series, this woodcut was widely circulated and had a considerable influence on the visual culture of the period. The series was published in book form in 1511, with Latin text on the reverse of each woodcut, and it was one of the first of Dürer's works to be published by the artist himself. "The Large Passion: 9. Last Supper" is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of the finest examples of Dürer's graphic works, reflecting both his deep religious conviction and his innovative approach to visual storytelling.
