About the piece

Created in 1836 by Alphonse Périn, this oil sketch served as a preparatory study for the Notre-Dame de Lorette church in Paris. The work captures a group of apostles at the Last Supper in various stages of finish, from precise line work to fully realized oil forms, all set against a bold red ground that highlights the dramatic silhouettes of the figures.
