Spanish school of the third quarter of the 18th century."The Last Supper.Oil on canvas. Without stretcher.Measurements: 63 x 151 cm.The Last Supper is one of the most relevant representations in the history of western art. In the first place, because it is the concrete moment in which the sacrament of the Eucharist is established, since Jesus in this supper made the analogy between his body and the bread, and the wine and his blood. Secondly, the mythical scene, which was painted by Leonardo, laid the foundations of Renaissance aesthetics, thus contributing a conception of perspective that was hegemonic until well into the 20th century. In this particular case, the scene reflects this aesthetic based on the Leonardesque composition, and the figures are arranged in a similar manner. However, in this work the artist dispenses with the landscape and places all the main characters in an inconcrete interior space dominated by the presence of black. Although all the figures are placed in the form of a frieze, the artist has established several planes that give a certain depth to the whole. These are defined by the apostles in front of or behind the table, and by the anecdotal elements in the foreground, such as the jars, which allude to the moment when Jesus decided to wash the feet of all his apostles before the supper.
