La "Última Cena" de Jaume Ferrer como Unción en Betania a partir de los tipos iconográficos y el antagonismo entre Judas y María Magdalena

Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: The Last Supper is one of the most represented themes in the visuality of Western Christendom. The work of Jaume Ferrer conserved in the Diocesan and Regional Museum of Solsona has been understood by specialists as a representation of this theme. This research will try to show that Ferrer's work is not a Last Supper but The Anointing at Bethany. The argument is made from two fundamental axes: the non-existence in the representation of the iconographic types of the theme of the Last Supper and the importance of the role of Judas and Mary Magdalene as antagonists. The methodology used is that of iconography and iconology and the materials used refer both to various textual sources (New Testament, extra-canonical gospels, patristics, legends, sermons, canons ...) and to other images that are part of the cultural tradition of the work under study as well as its context in a boarder sense.
