The Last Supper depicts Jesus' final meal with his disciples in Jerusalem before his Passion. During this meal, Christ takes the bread and the cup and gives them to his disciples: the institution of the Eucharist, at the heart of Christian worship.
References: Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:14-20. Judas slips away with the money (Matthew 26:14-16; John 13:29-30) and Saint John rests on Jesus's breast (John 13:23-25).
Armia Elkatcha arranges this scene in a particularly slender vertical format. Christ presides over the long table around which the apostles gather. The cup occupies the centre of the composition, while the angel of the altar, wings outstretched, appears beneath the table.
