About this work

Thirty years after his first version of this subject, Rembrandt etched it anew and conceived it in an entirely different way. The apostles, in the left foreground, now play a mere supporting role. The focus is reserved for the Temple of Jerusalem in the background, with Solomonic columns before it and countless figures gathered around the sacrificial site.
