Thirty years after his first version of this subject, Rembrandt etched it anew and conceived it in an entirely different way. The apostles, in the left foreground, now play a mere supporting role. The focus is reserved for the Temple of Jerusalem in the background, with Solomonic columns before it and countless figures gathered around the sacrificial site.
