Given and born from a Virgin pure, Having made this world His dwelling place, When the seeds of His words were sown afar He ended His stay in wondrous grace. With brethren reclining at that last meal, He observes in full what the Law demands, Th en gives Himself as food instead To apostles twelve with His own hands. Amen. —fi rst half of St. Th omas Aquinas’ hymn Acclaim, My Tongue, Th is Mystery (Pange, Lingua, Gloriosi) INTRODUCTION Th e last seß ion explored the Bread of Life discourse and Jesus’ shock ing promise to give his fl esh and blood as true food and true drink. With his Galilean ministry now at its end, Jesus heads with his Apostles to Jerusalem to celebrate the Paß over meal before his paß ion and death on the croß . But as the meal in the Upper Room begins, it becomes clear to the Apostles that they are not celebrating a typical Paß over. Jesus’ words and actions are completely new. While hundreds of thousands of lambs are prepared for sacrifi ce in the Temple, the Lamb of God institutes the fulfi llment of the words he spoke in Capernaum. Last Supper / Scala / Art Resource, NY 147 C ONNECT 1. When have you att ended a function in a large venue (maybe a conference, or a concert, or something like World Youth Day)? What was it like? How did the size of the crowd intensify the experience? 2. Have you ever participated in a Paß over Seder meal? Briefl y share your experience. D ISCUSS PART 1—THE NEW PASSOVER OF CHRIST Watch the teach ing. Th e following is a brief outline of the topics covered in the video teach ing. I. In the fi rst century, Paß over and Feast of Unleavened Bread were synonymous—“a Paß over Octave” II. Paß over must be celebrated in Jerusalem because it is a Temple sacrifi ce III. What must Peter and John do to prepare? A. Secure a lamb B. Take the lamb to the Temple to be sacrifi ced IV. Josephus’ description of a fi rst-century Paß over A. Sacrifi ced from 9th to 11th hour B. No fewer than 10 people to share the Paß over together C. 255,600 lambs; 2,700,000 pilgrims 148 The Last Supper and the Cross: The New Passover of Christ V. Mishnah description of Paß over A. Lambs sacrifi ced in three groups B. Priests stood in rows with basins of silver and gold C. Lay Israelite slaughtered his lamb D. Priests caught blood in basins and paß ed basins to altar E. Blood toß ed against the altar F. Levites sang the Hallel (praise psalms— Psalms 113–118) G. Lambs skinned and put on spits in the shape of a croß D ISCUSS 1. What was one thing that you heard for the fi rst time or that was an “aha” moment for you in Dr. Pitre’s teach ing? 2. Why does Jesus give Peter and John such cryptic instructions? What would their aft ernoon have been like that Holy Th ursday (sights, sounds, smells, etc.)? Why do you think he ch ooses Peter and John for the preparations? 3. What did you fi nd most striking about the descriptions of the fi rst-century celebrations of the Paß over feasts from Josephus and the Mishnah? Why? How does this deepen your appreciation for the celebration of the Last Supper? PART 2—THE WORDS OF INSTITUTION Watch the teach ing. Th e following is a brief outline of the topics covered in the video teach ing. I. Words of Institution A. Recorded in gospels of Matt hew, Mark, and Luke B. Recorded in Paul’s First Lett er to the Corinthians II. Continuity with Jewish Paß over A. Custom for host of Paß over meal to interpret meaning of the meal B. “Bread of affl iction” 149 The Last Supper and the Cross: The New Passover of Christ III. Discontinuity A. Bread and wine are Jesus’ body and blood B. Meal is interpreted in relation to Jesus and his sacrifi ce, not in relation to the Exodus C. Jesus is revealing that he is the true Paß over Lamb IV. Mishnah A. Lamb described as “body” B. “Th is is my body” = “I am the new sacrifi ce of the new covenant” V. Blood of the sacrifi ce A. Blood of the sacrifi ce poured out on altar by priests B. “Do this in remembrance”=Apostles are priests C. Old Testament prohibition against drinking blood, because the blood makes atonement and the life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:10–11; Deuteronomy 12:23) D. Jesus commands us to drink his blood, because his blood makes atonement and gives us his life VI. Last Supper sets in motion Jesus’ paß ion A. Singing Hallel Psalms (Psalms 113–118) B. Singing praise and thanksgiving, already looking ahead to the Resurrection VII. Calvary (John 19) A. Use of hyß op and no bones broken— new Paß over Lamb B. Blood and water from Jesus’ side parallels Mishnah account of blood and water fl owing from side of the altar and Temple D ISCUSS 4. What was one thing that you heard for the fi rst time or that was an “aha” moment for you in Dr. Pitre’s teach ing? 5. What are the points of continuity between the Last Supper and the Jewish Paß over? Why is it important to understand the Last Supper in light of the Paß over and the Old Covenant Law? 150 The Last Supper and the Cross: The New Passover of Christ 6. How does the Last Supper set in motion Jesus’ paß ion? How does Jesus’ singing of the Hallel psalms look forward to his resurrection? How can imitating Jesus’ off ering of praise and thanksgiving help us in the midst of diffi cult situations? “Jesus chose the time of Passover to fulfi ll what he had announced at Capernaum… By celebrating the Last Supper with his apostles in the course of the Passover meal, Jesus gave the Jewish Passover its defi nitive meaning. Jesus’ passing over to his father by his death and Resurrection, the new Passover, is anticipated in the Supper and celebrated in the Eucharist, which fulfi lls the Jewish Passover and anticipates the fi nal Passover of the Church in the glory of the kingdom.” —CCC 1339–1340 “Recognize in this bread what hung on the cross, and in this chalice what fl owed from His side… whatever was in many and varied ways announced beforehand in the sacrifi ces of the Old Testament pertains to this one sacrifi ce which is revealed in the New Testament.” —St. Augustine, Feast Day, August 28 “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” —Luke 22:19 C LOSING P RAYER Lord Jesus Christ, at the Last Supper you fulfi lled the Old Covenant Paß over and instituted for us the New Covenant sacrament of the Euch arist. As we are nourished by your Body and Blood, may we enter ever more deeply into the mystery of your paß ion, death, and resurrection, and be united ever more closely to you. Amen. FOR FURTHER READING Pope Benedict XVI, “The Last Supper” in Jesus of Nazareth, Part Two (Ignatius Press, 2011) Brant Pitre, “The New Passover” and “The Fourth Cup and the Death of Jesus” in Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist (Doubleday, 2011) 151 C OMMIT –DAY 1 The Passover Feast Last Supper of Christ mosaic © Hadrian / shutterstock .com Th e Last Supper is a familiar and moving scene in Scripture. Artists throughout the centuries have depicted this poignant moment in which Jesus and his Apostles share the fellowship of a meal among friends before the storm of the Paß ion. But context is neceß ary to understanding any story, and it is absolutely vital to grasping the full depth of key moments in salvation history.

  • GIOTTO and MODERN ART* N OT Long Ago I Was Led to the Statement
    GIOTTO AND MODERN ART* OT long ago I was led to the statement that we could N not understand modern art unless we understood Giotto-a statement that implied that the modern art move- ments have their sources in him. As a matter of fact, when we speak of the sources of any art movement, we are not on too solid ground. It is evident that there are powerfuI under- lying forces which influence and shape art forms, but to lo- cate the source of any style in a specific person means only to recognize the artistic criteria of the moment-standards which are as varied and changeable as that much desired quality which we caIl Beauty. Not too many years ago contemporary painting boasted free and virile brush strokes. This direct painting, then con- sidered the height of modernism, was shown as the direct descendant of Frans Hals and Velasquez. The imitative art of the 19th and 20th centuries looked for its sources in the illusionism of the Italian Renaissance and saw Masaccio as the father of modern painting. Then as subjective expression gradually replaced objective imitation, El Greco was rediscovered as the forefather of modern painting. With so many paternal ancestors already claimed, let us not fall into the error of putting still another father of modern art in the roots of the family tree. *This lecture was illustrated by lantern slides.

  • 'Inspired to Follow: Art and the Bible Story' Session 8: the Birth of Jesus
    ‘Inspired to Follow: Art and the Bible Story’ Session 8: The Birth of Jesus Text: Luke 1:26-38 Image: ‘Mystic Nativity’, Sandro Botticelli, 1500, NG1034 Reflection: I’ve always thought that Botticelli’s Mystic Nativity has such an amazing energy. It is certainly unconventional. It’s like the vision of a three-tier universe. At the top are the angels of God, with the sky opening up to reveal the kingdom of heaven. In the centre is the stable and the holy family with an ox and ass looking on inquisitively. At the bottom of the painting, as men and angels embrace, little devils scatter and flee into holes in the ground. The painting is not simply a representation of the Gospel accounts of the nativity. Rather it’s a glimpse of the kingdom of God, the story of a birth that seems to unite both heaven and earth. At the centre of this painting is a huge Christ child. He is at the centre of the dance – raising his head and right hand in blessing and his leg kicking out to touch the cloak of a truly massive Mary: if she stood up she would take the thatch off the roof! It’s as though Jesus is the centre of the dance. The vulnerable naked child gives life and joy to the whole universe. From his hand the dance spirals up through the vertical of the body of Mary into the circle of the dancing angels on the roof and then through the toes of the angels up into their wider circle lifting up in to the dome of heaven.

  • Sebastiano Del Piombo and His Collaboration with Michelangelo: Distance and Proximity to the Divine in Catholic Reformation Rome
    SEBASTIANO DEL PIOMBO AND HIS COLLABORATION WITH MICHELANGELO: DISTANCE AND PROXIMITY TO THE DIVINE IN CATHOLIC REFORMATION ROME by Marsha Libina A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland April, 2015 © 2015 Marsha Libina All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is structured around seven paintings that mark decisive moments in Sebastiano del Piombo’s Roman career (1511-47) and his collaboration with Michelangelo. Scholarship on Sebastiano’s collaborative works with Michelangelo typically concentrates on the artists’ division of labor and explains the works as a reconciliation of Venetian colorito (coloring) and Tuscan disegno (design). Consequently, discourses of interregional rivalry, center and periphery, and the normativity of the Roman High Renaissance become the overriding terms in which Sebastiano’s work is discussed. What has been overlooked is Sebastiano’s own visual intelligence, his active rather than passive use of Michelangelo’s skills, and the novelty of his works, made in response to reform currents of the early sixteenth century. This study investigates the significance behind Sebastiano’s repeating, slowing down, and narrowing in on the figure of Christ in his Roman works. The dissertation begins by addressing Sebastiano’s use of Michelangelo’s drawings as catalysts for his own inventions, demonstrating his investment in collaboration and strategies of citation as tools for artistic image-making. Focusing on Sebastiano’s reinvention of his partner’s drawings, it then looks at the ways in which the artist engaged with the central debates of the Catholic Reformation – debates on the Church’s mediation of the divine, the role of the individual in the path to personal salvation, and the increasingly problematic distance between the layperson and God.

AMANDA GRIEVE ART 3130 The Scientific Narrative of Leonardo’s Last Supper AMANDA GRIEVE ART 3130: Leonardo da Vinci, Fall 2017 Nominated by: Dr. Caroline Hillard Amanda Grieve is a senior at Wright State University and is pursuing a BFA with a focus on Studio Painting. She received her Associates degree in Visual Communications from Sinclair Community College in 2007. Amanda notes: I knew Leonardo was an incredible artist, but what became obvious after researching and learning more about the man himself, is that he was a great thinker and intellectual. I believe those aspects of his personality greatly influenced his art and, in large part, made his work revolutionary for his time. Dr. Hillard notes: This paper presents a clear and original thesis about Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper that incorporates important scholarly research and Leonardo’s own writings. The literature on Leonardo is extensive, yet the author has identified key studies and distilled their essential contributions with ease.

  • LOCATING El GRECO in LATE SIXTEENTH-CENTURY
    View metadata, citation and similarbroughtCORE papers to you at by core.ac.uk provided by Online Repository of Birkbeck Institutional Theses LOCATING El GRECO IN LATE SIXTEENTH‐CENTURY ROME: ART and LEARNING, RIVALRY and PATRONAGE Ioanna Goniotaki Department of History of Art, School of Arts Birkbeck College, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, July 2017 -1- Signed declaration I declare that the work presented in the thesis is my own Ioanna Goniotaki -2- ABSTRACT Much has been written about the artistic output of Domenicos Theotocopoulos during his time in Spain, but few scholars have examined his works in Venice and even fewer have looked at the years he spent in Rome. This may be in part attributed to the lack of firm documentary evidence regarding his activities there and to the small corpus of works that survive from his Italian period, many of which are furthermore controversial. The present study focuses on Domenicos’ Roman years and questions the traditional notion that he was a spiritual painter who served the principles of the Counter Reformation. To support such a view I have looked critically at the Counter Reformation, which I consider more as an amalgam of diverse and competitive institutions and less as an austere movement that strangled the freedom of artistic expression. I contend, moreover, that Domenicos’ acquaintance with Cardinal Alessandro Farnese’s librarian, Fulvio Orsini, was seminal for the artist, not only because it brought him into closer contact with Rome’s most refined circles, but principally because it helped Domenicos to assume the persona of ‘pictor doctus’, the learned artist, following the example of another of Fulvio’s friends, Pirro Ligorio.

  • The Last Supper John 13:1-20 It Can Be Difficult for Modern Readers To
    The Last Supper John 13:1-20 It can be difficult for modern readers to grasp the significance of Jesus’ act of washing his disciples’ feet before they shared the Passover meal. Our feet don’t need to be cleaned when we arrive at a friend’s home. Help kids by describing the dry, dirt roads people traveled on in sandals or barefoot. Invite kids to imagine how and when their own feet get dirty and need extra scrubbing. Beyond that, Jesus washed their feet to show his love for them. Encourage kids to enter into the story by thinking of big and small ways to show love to others by serving them. BEFORE HAND, TALK: Jesus was together with his friends to celebrate Passover. Passover was a holiday for Jewish people that is still celebrated today. The disciples and Jesus ate a special meal. At that meal, Jesus told his disciples to love each other. They shared bread and wine around the table. Today in churches we celebrate communion, or the Lord’s Supper, to remember Jesus’ Last Supper with his friends. Today’s story has three parts. It takes place on a special holiday called Passover. During Passover, Jewish people traveled to be with family and share a special meal together. This story is called The Last Supper because it’s the last time Jesus shares a meal with his friends before he is killed. He wants them to remember their time together. To help us remember the story and what Jesus tells his disciples, we’re going to act it out.
