The Last Supper

Marcos Zapata's The Last Supper (c. 1753) exemplifies his unique blend of Religious painting with indigenous Peruvian culture within the Baroque tradition. This artwork reimagines the biblical scene, incorporating Andean elements such as Cuy, highlighting Zapata’s effort to integrate local customs into Christian narratives. As a prominent figure of the Cuzco School, Zapata's work reflects the vibrant and detailed style characteristic of colonial Baroque art, aimed at creating religious images for churches in Peru and Chile.
