"The Institution of the Eucharist" is a significant religious painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Joos van Wassenhove, also known as Justus of Ghent. This artwork, dated to the late 15th century, is renowned for its depiction of the Last Supper, a pivotal moment in Christian theology when Jesus Christ established the Eucharist during his final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion.

The painting is notable for its intricate detail and use of color, which is characteristic of the Northern Renaissance style. Van Wassenhove's work is distinguished by its careful attention to the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the biblical scene, as well as its incorporation of contemporary Flemish elements into the setting and attire of the figures. The Institution of the Eucharist is considered an important example of van Wassenhove's oeuvre, which bridges the gap between the Early Netherlandish tradition and the Italian Renaissance, due to the artist's time spent in Italy.

The painting's provenance and its current location are essential aspects of its history, often reflecting the cultural and artistic value attributed to the work over the centuries. As a piece that has been studied for its theological symbolism and artistic technique, "The Institution of the Eucharist" continues to be an object of scholarly interest and is frequently included in discussions of religious art from the period.

In addition to its religious significance, the painting is also appreciated for its contribution to the understanding of the cultural exchange between the Low Countries and Italy during the Renaissance. Joos van Wassenhove's integration of Italian influences into his Northern artistic roots provides valuable insights into the cross-pollination of artistic ideas across Europe during this time.

"The Institution of the Eucharist" by Joos van Wassenhove remains a testament to the enduring power of religious art to convey complex theological concepts and to the artist's skill in harmonizing different artistic traditions into a cohesive and compelling visual narrative.
