About the piece

Painted around 1619, this powerful work showcases Anthony van Dyck's early mastery of light and human emotion. The central figure of Christ, draped in a striking red mantle, is surrounded by apostles whose faces are rendered with remarkable psychological depth and individual character, reflecting the artist's training in the studio of Peter Paul Rubens.
