Why are they all sitting on the same side of the table like a movie would have it ?

[z3n]

[jerod]

The French are just p*ssed because they don't have it. They have the 'Mona Lisa' Leonardo's lesser known painting.

[stanne]

I am supposed to care enough to click on what a site called “medium” says about Jesu? Or DaVinci’s depiction of him?

Eh…no. I know where these people get their information from.

[motor_racer]

“In the case of the Last Supper, he chose his models with special care. Legend has it that for Jesus Christ, Leonardo found a young man who was exactly what he was looking for. The chosen one transmitted both life and spiritual strength. For 6 months she posed as a model for him.”

“She posed”.... huh?

[HIDEK6]

At the point when they completed the model, he went to Leonardo inquiring as to whether he didn’t remember it, he answered that he didn’t think he had seen it previously. The man admitted that it was a similar man who had modeled for the figure of Jesus.

Crying, he deplored the float that had ended his life and shouted: “How low I have fallen, yesterday I was Jesus and today I am Judas!”

Can someone parse the above 2 sentences? I can’t follow what they say.

I has some sense of it before, but all this caused me to go look it up. That painting has had a seriously rough life and little, if any, remains from the original work. Check out the history section in the Wikipedia article:

[Ezekiel]

"Possibly this curious story is nothing more than a legend, but it is true that Leonardo chose his models with special care and wanted their faces to be the expression of their souls."

Interesting article, thanks much.

What Nobody Tells You About the Last Supper Tableau

There's a whole other perspective, beginning with the timing placement [of the Last Supper, with the Passover/Exodus right on the horizon]. Also currently, these games (24 July to 11 August 2024) are taking place completely within "The Three Weeks" between the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple. (Tue, Jul 23, 2024 – Tue, Aug 13, 2024)

So, here's the Olympic logo:

I find the emblem-token to be an outstanding example of beauty in simplicity. Marianne the national personification as the gold medal as the Olympic torch. White fire on gold, with a metaphorical [sealed double golden] gate within the eternal flame.

Perhaps I'm boring people.

The emblem for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics was unveiled on 21 October 2019 at the Grand Rex. Inspired by Art Deco,[135][136] it is a representation of Marianne, the national personification of France, with a flame formed in negative space by her hair. The emblem also resembles a gold medal. Tony Estanguet explained that the emblem symbolised "the power and the magic of the Games", and the Games being "for people". The use of a female figure also serves as an homage to the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, which were the first to allow women to participate.[137] The emblem was designed by the French designer Sylvain Boyer[138] with the French design agencies Royalties & Ecobranding.[139][140][138]

The emblem for Paris 2024 was considered the biggest new logo release of 2019 by many design magazines.[141][142] An Opinion Way survey shows that 83 per cent of French people say they like the new Paris 2024 Games emblem. Approval ratings were high, with 82 per cent of those surveyed finding it aesthetically appealing and 78 per cent finding it to be creative.[143] It was met with some mockery on social media, one user commenting that the logo "would be better suited to a dating site or a hair salon".[137]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Summer_Olympics#Emblem

That said, the cynic in me says that the artsy community designed Marianne as a drag queen; say, as an overt inside joke, but then the amusing comparison to hair salon signage may have unwittingly tapped into a stereotypical career path of her human designers.

Fast forward to the Last Supper degeneracy that all of a sudden attracted the world's attention, even the attention of those who hadn't given these Olympics a passing thought or glance.

The 'cultured progressive artists' chose a morbidly obese woman with a distinctly round face to represent "Jesus" (the Messiah is the 'national personification' of an entire people, so to speak).

That's obvious on its face. Yeah I know, shudder, but here's a photo from the Daily Mail of this woman's Last Supper "Jesus" face, useful to compare with the Marianne gold medal/eternal flame logo of the games.

Furthermore, the Olympic torch is an eternal flame, a symbol parallel with the Burning Bush. And this "Jesus lady" goes by the name of Barbara Butch.

And in Jewish spheres (no pun intended), the Shekinah is the female representation/aspect/personification of God's presence, dwelling ("presence" = "face" = panim; cf. the shewbread, lechem panim).

Altogether, what/who is the dark side unintentionally announcing through their smug "We've got 'em now!" open depravity-mockery on the world stage?

Because really, if they knew what they were doing, they wouldn't do that.

Location -- the "Seine" [סן], which "coincidentally" is found in the midst of "the bUSh" (ha-sneh, the burning one that Moses turned aside to see):

הסנה

The middle letters reverse to a "nes" [נס], a miracle, ensign, banner...

An added detail involving the painting, something I'd come across years ago in my journeys:

Here's the Wikipedia page on the topic of the Vanishing Point.

The Last Supper painting is the representative image... on the Hebrew side:

Also, the "I fell" tower was lit up for these opening ceremonies with ginormous wings of a dove. The dove is symbolic of the Shekinah, Holy Spirit, People of Israel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doves_as_symbols#Judaism

At the Paris Olympics, the doves were represented by wings spread throughout the journey down the Seine.

Why are doves always incorporated into the Olympics opening ceremony?

3d ago / 4:24 PM EDT

The imagery of the opening ceremony screams perversion on parade.

Amazing, though, what/who might suddenly appear out of the blue, in the clouds of the world stage -- as in, everyone seeing the silver lining finally.

(Your surprise is waiting.)

Upside-down, Marianne is gold fire on white fire, the gate floating between, at the top. Lip (Sing.) = language = safa, the numeral 385 which = "Shechinah", שכינה)

Hope that helps! 😉

The message to the expert un-see-ers who are learned in every aspect of institutionalized blindness is that hey it's high Summer, so keep on the Sunny Side.

Notice there is no challis in the painting because Jesus became that challis.

The painting is in a lot worse condition than the second photo shows. Fresco mixes paint with plaster so the color is worked into the wall. Leonardo just painted the dry wall, so the color didn’t sink in, and the damp from the wall caused the paint to flake off.

I wonder about this though:

Did the bosses just say, “Let’s get the guy named Jesus to write the article?”

They were talking about how inflation drove up the cost of the supper.
