The Last Supper, Christ’s final Passover meal with his disciples at which he instituted the Eucharist or Holy Communion, is described in three of the Gospels - Matthew 26, 20-30; Mark 14, 17-26, and Luke 22,14-38 - and is briefly mentioned in St John 13, 1-3. The source of the design was 'The Last Supper' in Albrecht Dürer’s thirty-seven woodcuts known as the Small Passion, executed in 1509¬-10, and published in book form with a Latin text in Nuremberg in1511. The enameller followed the print closely, including the prominent hatching, but exchanged a sturdy flagon in the right foreground for an elegant pseudo-classical ewer, and omitted a small covered pot on the table. The plaque was probably part of series of Passion plaques, which, depending on its numbers, could have been framed as an altarpiece, as some polychrome Passion plaques were, or as a smaller triptych or panel for devotional use. However, no large groups of grisaille Passion plaques have survived from this period in their original frame.The most extensive group attributed to Martial Ydeux comprises ten larger plaques in the Louvre, three of which are signed in the same way as this one. The enameller, Martial Ydeux (active from the late 1540s to about 1570) was one of the finest exponents of the grisaille technique, who seems to have worked mainly on plaques. His best work is extraordinarily refined and expressive, with soft gradations of grey to white on a manganese-black ground producing painterly sfumato effects. Other signed plaques, including this one, have more obvious hatching and cross-hatching in the manner of an engraving, executed by enlevage with a needle through the pale upper layer to reveal the darker toned enamel below. Similar differences in execution are present between the Louvre’s plaques of 'Christ washing St Peter’s Feet' and the' Nailing of Christ to the Cross' both initialled MD enclosing I.(Inv.
