Byzantine icon Last Supper hand painted 30x25 cm.
Religious Icon painted in Romania on fir wood, following the Byzantine techniques of the 16th century. The Last Supper of Christ with the disciples is, from a dramatic and symbolic point of view, one of the culminating moments of the Gospel. On the one hand, Jesus announces the imminent betrayal of Judas, foreshadowing his own death; on the other, by breaking the bread for the last time and sharing the wine with the Apostles, he institutes the Eucharist, the central sacrament of the Church.
