Last Supper

The Religious painting titled Last Supper (1630–1631) by Peter Paul Rubens exemplifies Baroque artistry, capturing a pivotal biblical event. Commissioned by Catherine Lescuyer, it features Jesus at the center, adorned in red with a yellow halo, surrounded by his disciples. Judas, dressed in blue, is depicted turning away nervously, emphasizing the betrayal theme. The scene vividly illustrates the theological significance of the Last Supper, with Jesus holding bread and wine, symbolizing the institution of the Eucharist. Rubens’ dynamic composition and dramatic use of light and shadow highlight the emotional intensity characteristic of Baroque Religious painting.
