Dinner at Bethany (M 055) Poster
Painted in 1503 by an anonymous Middle Rhenish artist, this panel depicts the dinner mentioned in John 12:1-3 that took place in Bethany after the raising of Lazarus and just before Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. As such, the mood is celebratory--merrier and less sombre than that of the Last Supper that took place the following Thursday (Maundy Thursday). It is the central panel of the triptych altarpiece that graces the Martha altar of the southern choir of the Church of Our Lady (Liebfrauenkirche) at Oberwesel, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. + Here, Jesus and His Twelve Apostles are seated at a round table, presumably one of several in the room since the Gospel alludes to the presence of more attendees including Lazarus. The table is viewed atilt, the better to see the tableware and foodstuffs. The Apostles converse among themselves. One (St. Bartholomew?) slices bread. In the centre foreground, St. Martha, wearing an apron and carrying a platter of fish, serves (as St. John so succinctly puts it). Meanwhile, St. Mary, erroneously identified at the time the altarpiece was painted with the penitent Magdalene and a nameless sinful woman, kneels opposite. Both women wear gowns of sumptuous materials. Between them kneels the donor, Canon Peter Luteran, who is represented on a greatly reduced scale. The crowded scene brims with energy and the implied noise of animated conversations and rattling crockery. + See also the St. Martha items—aprons, oven mitts, potholders, and serving trays--from our Apron Saints series (q.v.) to mix and match! + Image Credit (M 055): Photo by Rolf Kranz of a public domain painting that is well over 100 years old from WikiMedia Commons (By Rolf Kranz - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=106002864).

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame.
This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again.
One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up.
Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font.
Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
