L'Ultima 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
Questa splendida Ultima cena fa parte di una serie di quattro arazzi che raffigurano la Passione di Cristo. Furono disegnati da Bernaert van Orley, un eminente artista di Bruxelles del XVI secolo. L’opera testimonia l’integrazione compiuta da Van Orley tra le tradizioni dei paesi nordici e i modelli italiani, che diede vita a un nuovo stile nell’arte degli arazzi. Van Orley abbinò l’espressività emotiva e l’attenzione ai particolari della xilografia di Albrecht Dürer, anch’essa intitolata Ultima cena, che ispirò lo schema compositivo dell’arazzo, con la costruzione dello spazio e di figure monumentali tipica di Raffaello. I cartoni di Raffaello per la serie di arazzi gli Atti degli Apostoli, commissionati per la Cappella Sistina e inviati a Bruxelles per la tessitura, furono un importante modello per Van Orley.
