Retable de la Déploration du Christ : La Cène

Joos van Cleve created this work around 1522 during the High Renaissance period. The painting reflects the artistic traditions and cultural preoccupations of its time and place of origin. The painting is in the Department of Paintings of the Louvre. Joos van Cleve was a leading Antwerp painter who synthesized Flemish panel painting tradition with Italian Renaissance influence, making him one of the most sought-after Netherlandish masters of his generation.

The multi-panel format follows the altarpiece tradition, providing an expanded devotional program with individual panels working together to create a unified theological and visual statement.
