Description from the seller
It is an icon of the Last Supper worked in enameled relief on copper, a technique highly valued in the first half of the 20th century for its ability to combine chromatic intensity and sculptural depth. The scene, arranged in a central medallion, shows the apostles around the table with that stylized language typical of popular devotional art of the period: elongated faces, serene gestures, vivid colors that seek more symbolism than naturalism. The enamel, applied in dense layers, creates a vitreous shine that makes each figure seem to emerge with life from the metal.
The copper, hidden beneath the richness of color, provides solidity and a warm tone that can be glimpsed in the contours. The relief is not deep, but enough to generate soft shadows that accentuate the circular composition and the hierarchy of the scene. All of this is framed by an old, dark wood, with radial carving that acts almost like a sun or mandorla around the icon. That frame, probably from an artisanal workshop, adds visual weight and makes the piece an object intended to preside over a space, closer to a domestic altarpiece than to mere decoration.
The ensemble breathes spirituality and craftsmanship: a work where enameled copper provides color and sacrality, and wood provides rootedness and tradition.
Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
