Vintage Repoussé The Last Supper Metal Wall Plaque

This is a large-format bas-relief wall plaque depicting 'The Last Supper,' inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's iconic masterpiece. The artwork is crafted from a thin sheet of malleable metal, likely aluminum or a silver-toned alloy, using the repoussé and chasing technique to create a high-relief dimensional effect. The central figure of Jesus is positioned beneath a radiating celestial fan-like background, with the twelve apostles arranged along the table in expressive poses. The metal exhibits a soft, satin-like luster with significant darker oxidation or 'patina' in the recessed areas, which adds depth to the figurative forms. The plaque is housed in a substantial, molded wooden frame with a high-gloss finish and a prominent grain pattern. The frame shows minor scratching and signs of age. The inclusion of the mark 'M. REGISTRADO' (Marca Registrada) suggests a mid-20th-century European origin, likely Spanish or Italian, where such religious decorative pieces were mass-produced but hand-finished. The craftsmanship displays a high level of detail in the folds of the garments and facial expressions, despite its commercial nature. Overall, the piece is in good vintage condition with no major indentations or punctures to the metal surface.
