In this 1571 catechism for Lutheran children, the lessons concerning Baptism and Communion were introduced by two illustrations. Judas has already departed from the meal and Christ extends his hand to pronounce his New Commandment. This interpretation of the Last Supper, not as the institution of a ritual but as a promise of salvation, could not have existed without the precedent set by Dürer’s innovative <em>Last Supper</em> of 1523.</a>
