J. CASADEVALL (Catalonia, active in the mid-20th century). "Holy supper", ca. 1950. Terracotta sculpture on wooden base. Signed on the right side of the wooden base. Presents dirt and lack of polychrome on the base. Measurements: 23 x 46 x 16 cm. In this composition the author has chosen the most dramatic moment of the Last Supper, when Jesus after blessing the bread and wine announces that one of his disciples will betray him (John 13:21). This statement causes consternation among the twelve followers of Jesus, and that is the moment that the author represents, trying to reflect the feelings of each one, individualizing the characters; some are astonished, others are frightened, others comment among themselves the news.
