Panels from the High Altar of the Charterhouse of Saint-Honoré, Thuison-les-Abbeville: The Last Supper, French School, 1475, Art Institute of Chicago: European Painting and Sculpture

This panel was once part of the altarpiece decorating the high altar of the Carthusian monastery at Thuison, outside of Abbeville in northern France. Four saints standing in niches were painted on the exterior of the altarpiece’s wings. When the wings were open, the interior of the altarpiece told the story of Christ’s Passion and Resurrection through painted narratives on the inside of the wings and painted and gilded carvings in the central shrine whose central subject was undoubtedly the Crucifixion. The carvings have not survived. The fronts and backs of the wings were sawn apart in the mid 19th century; all the wing panels except one narrative (The Entry into Jerusalem, Hermitage, Saint Petersburg) are in the Art Institute. A rich border region north of Paris, Picardy was a possession of the Burgundian Netherlands in the mid-15th century, becoming part of France in 1477. Its painters were strongly influenced by artists from the neighboring provinces of the Low Countries, among them Rogier van der Weyden and Simon Marmion. The Art Institute of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Martin A. Ryerson Collection Size: Panel: 117.2 × 50.9 cm (46 1/8 × 20 in.); Painted Surface: 115.6 × 49.7 cm (45 1/2 × 19 9/16 in.) Medium: Oil on panel

Human development! I love this class because It often involves our own research and then we just have to answer the work in like paragraph format and I LOVE research and learning new things! Our 'lesson' is the personality of a human lol and whether it comes from nature so genetically or nurture, so culture, surroundings, our families and friends, etc. I think it is both and I don't think that it's um the answer my teacher wants but that is the answer she is going to get lol. I hope you guys are well! Love, Esme
