Description
English: The most notable differences between the present version and most others are the simplified checkerboard pattern of the floor and the dog in the foreground that misses its playmate. It is therefore different from the Poznan version as recorded in the RKD, as that painting features a second dog and the more common tiled floor pattern. Other details exclusive to this version include faint lines on Judas' feet, possibly sandal straps, and the stripes on the green garments of the apostle seen from behind. Small biblical scenes are depicted in the background, heightening the impact of the main theme. Through the window we see an archway (in typical Antwerp style) with the Entry in Jerusalem, an episode of the Passion that preceeds the Last Supper. In the ornamented window we can see depictions of the Fall of Man. The medals represent the stories of David and Goliath and the Slaying of Cain. The whole iconography is focused on original sin and mankind's salvation through Christ's sacrifice.

Notes as one of the most popular images of the 16th century this image freely combines Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper in Milan and Marcantonio Raimondi's engraving after Raphaels drawing 1510-1520 with the apostles' gestures from the famous print by Albrecht Dürer 1523. The scene with Cain and Abel is taken directly from a print by another popular Renaissance artist, Jan Gossaert, called Mabuse (active 1503-32).
