Painting Description
"The Last Supper" (1524-25) is a significant religious painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, one of the most prominent painters of the Northern Renaissance. This work is not to be confused with Leonardo da Vinci's famous mural of the same name. Holbein's interpretation of the Last Supper, which depicts the final meal Jesus shared with his apostles before his crucifixion, showcases his mastery in capturing the human form and his ability to infuse his subjects with psychological depth.
The painting was created during a period when Holbein was becoming increasingly influenced by the Italian Renaissance, integrating its techniques and styles with his Northern European artistic heritage. Measuring approximately 76.5 cm × 83 cm, the work is executed in oil and tempera on limewood. It is part of a larger altarpiece that was originally located in the Oberried Altarpiece at the Dominican Church in Basel, Switzerland.
Holbein's "The Last Supper" is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its vivid portrayal of the apostles' varied reactions to Christ's announcement of his impending betrayal. The composition is carefully structured, with Christ at the center, imparting a sense of balance and harmony despite the emotional tension of the scene. The use of color and light reflects Holbein's skill in creating a mood that is both somber and dramatic.
The painting is an important example of Holbein's religious works and provides insight into the religious and cultural climate of the early 16th century. It remains an object of study for art historians and scholars interested in the Reformation period and the intersection of Northern Renaissance art with the broader European artistic movements of the time.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, "The Last Supper" by Hans Holbein the Younger is housed in the Kunstmuseum Basel, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
