Description:
|
|
A tapestry of Flemish manufacture reproducing, at full scale, Leonardo's Last Supper (1494-1499). The foreground with table and figures is faithful to Leonardo, but the background has an elaborate architecture and landscape in the distance not seen in the original. The Brussels artists’ Guild of Saint Luke secured a monopoly in 1476 over the fabrication of figurative tapestry cartoons. Thereafter, Brussels weavers refined and perfected the techniques with which they could reproduce the painterly effects of an artist’s cartoon.
