A harmonious painting by the Spanish painter Juan de Juanes. Strangely enough the faces of most disciples seem to radiate mostly adoration – and this while they have just heard that their master is about to be betrayed.

In the front right, the traitor Judas, for better recognition he has been equipped with a money pouch.

In the foreground a bowl for washing feet before supper.
