The Last Supper – 3D Illusion Wood Engraving with Gold Leaf

This one-of-a-kind piece features The Last Supper in a captivating 3D illusion style, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic masterpiece. The design, sourced from a talented Etsy artist, was precisely engraved over 2 hours and 45 minutes, capturing the depth and solemnity of the original scene.

Engraved onto a reclaimed piece of wood — a leftover from a larger cut, patiently waiting for its purpose — the artwork comes to life not only through the engraving but also through the natural beauty of the wood itself. Remarkably, the wood grain aligns in such a way that it appears as if light is beaming from the windows behind the central figure, adding a divine, almost ethereal quality to the piece.

Hand-applied gold leaf highlights and enhances the sacred elements, while my own scrolled border design frames the left and right edges, completing the surface with elegance and intention.

A harmonious blend of craftsmanship, symbolism, and sustainability, this piece invites reflection and awe in any space it graces.
