Title: The Last Supper, circa 1500, Important Early Old Master Oil Painting c. 1500 Description: The Last Supper Workshop of Juan de Flandes (Netherlands, circa 1460-1519) oil on panel, framed framed size: 32 x 35 inches provenance: private collection, France Very rare early Old Master oil painting dating to circa 1500. The work can be attributed to the workshop of the important Netherlands born painter, Juan de Flandes (1460-1519). The painting beautifully captures the Biblical account referred to as "The Last Supper", where Christ and His disciplies are seated, on the night He was betrayed. Depicted with intricate detailing throughout, it is an exceptionally early work from this important period of Renaissance art. Juan de Flandes ("John of Flanders"; c. 1460 – by 1519) was an Early Netherlandish painter who was active in Spain from 1496 to 1519; his actual name is unknown, although an inscription Juan Astrat on the back of one work suggests a name such as "Jan van der Straat". Jan Sallaert, who became a master in Ghent in 1480, has also been suggested. He was born around 1460 in Flanders (modern Belgium). He evidently trained in his home country, most likely in Ghent, as his work shows similarities to that of Joos van Wassenhove, Hugo van der Goes and other Ghent artists. He is only documented after he became an artist at the court of Queen Isabella I of Castile, where he is first mentioned in the accounts in 1496. He is described as "court painter" by 1498 and continued in the queen's service until her death in 1504. He mostly painted portraits of the royal family, but also the majority of a large series of small (21.3 x 16.7 cm) panels for a polyptych altarpiece for the queen. The panels have been dispersed and the largest number of panels is in the royal collection in Madrid. After Isabella's death in 1504 Juan de Flandes turned to ecclesiastical commissions from Spanish churches, beginning in Salamanca in 1505–7. He was later based in Palencia, where there is a large reredos in the Cathedral. In Palencia his wife was described as a widow in December 1519. The overwhelming majority of his work held in collections outside Spain dates from this later period during which he concentrated on religious themes. Panels from a large altarpiece from a Palencian church are divided between the Prado and National Gallery of Art, Washington, who have four panels each. His works show the Early Netherlandish style of Ghent adapted to the Spanish taste and landscape, notably the requirements for groups of compartmented scenes for altarpieces. His colouring is refined, "with a preference for rather acid hues", and "while his feeling for space and light is sophisticated, a tendency to divide space into a succession of thin planes becomes a mannerism in his late works". Condition report: The painting is visually in very good condition. It has seen restoration and has signs of overpainting noticeable in certain areas. For its vast years, it is in excellent condition.
