The Last Supper | Maerten De Vos | Painting Art Print | Wall Frame
Here de Vos used a traditional picture plane shape with the table placed almost horizontally in the space. Christ sits at the center of the far side of the table, with his disciples arrayed around him. When Christ announced that one amongst them had betrayed him, his disciples reacted visibly. This painting depicts that specific instant of reaction. Through various tricks of line of sight and placement de Vos arranged the disciples in small groups, and this compositional method ably isolates Judas the betrayer. While all the other disciples are either looking at Christ or are talking amongst themselves (there is one exception, looking out at the viewer, but that is a compositional device), it is only Judas, placed directly in front of Christ who turns strategically to the side to avoid Christ's gaze. However, regardless of the drama of the betrayal, the composition overall is quietly expressed in a subdued form. This quiet mood derives from the religious nature of the Last Supper. There are at least three images of the Last Supper known today by de Vos.
