"The Institution of the Eucharist" is a significant oil on canvas painting by the French artist Nicolas Poussin, completed in 1640. As a leading painter of the classical French Baroque style, Poussin was known for his rich use of color and his mastery of classical composition, both of which are evident in this work. The painting measures 325 cm × 250 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

This masterpiece depicts the moment of the Last Supper when Jesus Christ instituted the Eucharist, according to the Christian tradition. It captures the scene where Christ consecrates the bread and wine, symbolizing his body and blood, which would become a central rite in the Christian liturgy. Poussin's interpretation of this biblical event is noted for its solemnity and the meticulous arrangement of figures around a table, showcasing his skill in creating a harmonious and balanced composition.

The painting is characterized by its clarity of form, controlled use of light, and a palette dominated by deep reds and blues, which contribute to the gravity and dignity of the subject matter. The figures are rendered with sculptural solidity, and their expressions and gestures are carefully orchestrated to guide the viewer's attention towards the central act of Christ's consecration.

"The Institution of the Eucharist" is considered an exemplar of Poussin's work during his mature period. It reflects his intellectual approach to art, his deep engagement with the themes of antiquity and the Bible, and his influence by the ideals of the Renaissance and the works of artists like Raphael. The painting is admired for its narrative clarity, theological depth, and its embodiment of the principles of order and decorum that were central to Poussin's artistic philosophy.

As a testament to Poussin's legacy, "The Institution of the Eucharist" has been studied extensively for its iconography, composition, and its place within the broader context of 17th-century European art. It remains a pivotal work for scholars interested in the Baroque period and in the oeuvre of one of France's most celebrated painters.
