Painting – The Last Supper by Jacques Parmentier

A large painting of the Last Supper by the Huguenot refugee artist Jacques Parmentier (1658-1730). Commissioned as an altarpiece, it filled the then-blocked lower part of the East Window, and cost £50. It now shows only ten disciples. It was removed to All Saints Church in Hessle in September 1831 where it was trimmed to fit the new space, losing two of the figures, and later returned to Holy Trinity.

Parmentier also worked on Montague House (now the British Museum), King William's palace at Binnenhof, Netherlands, Worksop Manor, and Painter’s Hall, London. He also painted a ceiling for St. Peter’s, Leeds.
