The Last Supper ca. 1525-28 Designed by Bernard van Orley Netherlandish This splendid Last Supper is part of a series of four tapestries, designed about 1520, illustrating the Passion of Christ and possibly woven for the duke of Alba. Designed by Bernaert van Orley, who was court painter to Margaret of Austria, the scene is set in an elaborate Italian Renaissance loggia, through which other classically inspired building are visible in the background. The love of decorative detail evident in the marble piers, the patterned tablecloth, and the fictive wall hangings signal the Flemish taste for rich surface ornament. With his enormous nimbus, Christ is shown at the center of the composition with his right arm around the sleeping Saint John and his outstretched left arm directing the viewer's eye toward Judas, who rises to leave in the lower right, his purse already filled with the payment he has received for his promised betrayal.Several details in the Last Supper suggest it was conceived
