oil on board
I was interested in the way the artist had tailored his image for the people of Pescia, including their local landscape in the background etc. This was not uncommon in such commissions, and I like the way that images with such huge religious import could be connected to the everyday life of a specific community. for my contribution i wanted also to make a reference to, and paintings for the local community. Having visited Pescia, I enjoyed eating at the local cantina, where people of all walks of life go to eat lunch in a communal setting. The sharing and enjoying of food is important in life and in the society of a town, and this connects to the choice of a communal meal in the bible story as a fitting setting for Christ's revelations.
The paintings show two scenes from the cantina, one of them foregrounding the common items of food and drink, including those of the sacrament.
