Description

Attributed to Hans Mayr. Oberammergau, Bavaria, ca. 1865. After LEONARDO DA VINCI (Anchiano, Italy, 1452-Amoise, France, 1519). "The Last Supper." Carved linden wood. Measurements: 38,5 x 13 x 16 cm. A stone's throw from the Austrian Tyrol, the small town of Oberammergau was home to many woodcarving craftsmen in the 19th century who specialized in creating religious figures. Another example of this Supper can be seen on the Kingston Lacy estate in Dorset, England (Inv. NT 1254554 2). In this sculptural group the author has chosen the most dramatic moment of the Last Supper, when Jesus after blessing the bread and wine announces that one of his disciples will betray him (John 13:21). This statement causes consternation among the twelve followers of Jesus, and that is the moment that the author represents, trying to reflect the feelings of each one, individualizing the characters; some are astonished, others are frightened, others comment among themselves the news.
