Matthew 26:26
What it depicts
Matthew 26:26-27Opened by a notation lookup, not by an editor. Iconclass 73D244 glosses this subject as “institution of the Eucharist, i.e. Christ showing or blessing bread (host) and/or wine (Matthew 26:26-27; Mark 14:22-23; Luke 22:19-20; John 13:26; 1 Corinthians 11:23-25)”, and this library reads the Douay-Rheims, where the passage stands at Matthew 26:26-27. Iconclass states 5 references for this subject; the first one this corpus holds is used.
26And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body.
27And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.

Not yet checked1Passages in the library’s own holdings that name this maker. The model ranked them; nobody has checked that the name means this person.
"The Cherry Woman," exhibited in 1850, may be named as an example of the first kind; the "Burchell and Sophia" of the second (the character of Sir William Thornhill being utterly missed); the "Seven Ages" of the third; for this subject cannot be painted. In the written passage, the thoughts are progressive and connected; in the picture they must be co-existent, and yet separate; nor can all the characters of the ages be rendered in painting at all. One may represent the soldier at the cannon's mouth, but one cannot
