La Cène

Designed by Bernard van Orley Netherlandish
 Probably woven by Pieter de Pannemaker Netherlandish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 959

Cette splendide Cène fait partie d’un ensemble de quatre tapisseries exécutées d’après des cartons de Bernaert van Orley, l’un des chefs de file de l’école bruxelloise du XVIe siècle. L’artiste a su conjuguer en un style nouveau les traditions nordiques et l’esprit italien. Il a marié la charge émotive et le goût du détail de La Cène gravée sur bois par Albrecht Dürer — qui a d’ailleurs inspiré la composition —, aux figures monumentales et à la construction spatiale caractéristiques de Raphaël. Il s’est sans doute beaucoup inspiré des cartons dessinés par ce dernier pour Les Actes des apôtres, une série de tapisseries destinées à la chapelle Sixtine, qui avaient été envoyés chez un tisserand de Bruxelles.
