1964 Last Supper by Domenic Zappia

This 1964 postcard features the “Last Supper,” a magnificent life-size basswood sculpture created by Domenic Zappia of Kansas City, Missouri. Zappia, an accomplished artist known for his intricate wood carvings, spent four years meticulously crafting this piece. Completed in December 1962, the sculpture is modeled after Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting and captures the moment when Christ announces that one of his disciples will betray him.

The “Last Supper” sculpture, measuring an impressive 17 feet in length, was showcased at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Tragically, Zappia passed away shortly after the sculpture was put on display, leaving behind a legacy of artistic excellence. His work continues to be admired for its detailed craftsmanship and emotional depth.

This postcard, measuring approximately 4 x 6 inches, offers a beautiful reproduction of Zappia’s masterpiece. It is a perfect addition to any collection of vintage postcards or religious art. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this exquisite piece that commemorates both the artist and his remarkable creation. Add this unique postcard to your collection and enjoy a touch of historical and artistic significance.
