Item Description

Superbly carved MEERSCHAUM relief of the 'Last Supper Of Jesus Christ', in its' original convex shadow box frame. This sculpture was created in Italy [likely in Rome] during the 1st 'GRAND TOUR' of Europe in the early 19th century. It was a sort of patronage for the wealthy from European countries. Only means to witness in person the great wonders of the ancient world, until then only seen in books and through fine art. Carved out of MEERSCHAUM [same material as tobacco pipes], it dates to right around 1820, possibly slightly earlier or later, but early 1800s. An intricately realized depiction of Christ's last meal with the 12 apostles, prior to his crucifixion. The deeply curved/convex frame makes it hard to photograph, but it is a masterpiece. Original frame and glass. Details abound, including JUDAS in the upper-righthand corner, cowering away from his betrayal. LARGER than it looks in the photos, measuring 12.75" across by 16.25" in height. It is in a fine state of preservation for age, with expected light frame wear. Not something seen often [if ever].
