Über die Entwicklung der Abendmahlsdarstellung : von der byzantinischen Mosaikkunst bis zur niederländischen Malerei des 17. Jahrhunderts
A German art-historical study by Frederik Adama van Scheltema, published in Leipzig in 1912 by Klinkhardt & Biermann, tracing how the Last Supper was depicted from Byzantine mosaics to seventeenth-century Dutch painting. The plates show reproductions of Last Supper paintings, many printed sideways on the page, with captions naming artists and locations such as Lucas Cranach's Lutheran Abendmahl in Wittenberg and Leonardo's Milan fresco. A designer could study how composers arranged a long table, a row of apostles and a central Christ figure across different periods and styles.
