La Última Cena

Designed by Bernard van Orley Netherlandish
Probably woven by Pieter de Pannemaker Netherlandish
ca. 1525–28
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 959
Esta espléndida Última Cena forma parte de una serie de cuatro tapices que ilustran la Pasión de Cristo. Fueron diseñados por Bernaert van Orley, uno de los principales artistas de Bruselas en el siglo XVI, y son exponentes del nuevo estilo resultante de la integración de las tradiciones flamencas y los modelos italianos. La emoción expresiva y el gusto por el detalle que aparecen en la xilografía de La Última Cena de Alberto Durero, obra que inspiró la composición de este tapiz, se combinan con las figuras monumentales y la construcción espacial características de Rafael. En efecto, Van Orley tomó como modelos los cartones de Rafael para la serie de tapices Hechos de los Apóstoles, comisionados para la Capilla Sixtina y enviados a Bruselas para ser tejidos.
