The composition is based on a design by the painter Peter Candid, who was active in Munich during the late sixteenth century. Sadeler, a member of a prolific family of engravers, produced this work during his period in Venice, where he collaborated with local publishers such as Stefano Scolari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print depicts the biblical scene with the characteristic stylistic traits of Northern Mannerism. The figures are arranged around a table, with Christ positioned at the centre, his head surrounded by a faint halo. To his right, Saint John leans against him in a gesture of sorrow. The other apostles are grouped in various states of contemplation and interaction. The engraving technique employs fine, controlled lines to create volume in the drapery and depth in the facial features, typical of the high-quality reproductive prints of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the base of the image, the Latin inscription from the Gospel of Luke (22:14-15) provides the narrative context for the scene. The inclusion of the phrase 'Petrus Cand: pinx' acknowledges the original painter, while 'Ioan: Sadeler sculps' identifies the engraver. The work demonstrates the technical precision required for copperplate engraving, where the artist must translate the tonal values of a painting into a system of hatching and cross-hatching. This print serves as an example of how religious imagery was disseminated across Europe through the medium of the printed image during the late Renaissance and Mannerist periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johannes Sadeler I","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58911057838415,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58911096504655,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58911096537423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58911096570191,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58911096602959,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58911096635727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58911096668495,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58911096701263,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58911096734031,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58911096766799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58911096799567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58911096832335,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Last-Supper_Poster_CompositorV1_1790639552216.jpg?v=1790641643","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-last-supper-johannes-sadeler-i","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
