You’re very welcome.
I just wanted to show that Leonardo’s painting wasn’t all that different from those that came before him and his contemporaries.
Another ‘legend’ about Leonardo’s Last Supper is that he originally painted the face of Judas as the face of his worst enemy. But when he went to paint Jesus’ face he had ‘Painter’s Block’ and could not do it. He eventually realized why he could not and went and apologized to his enemy and then painted his own face as Judas and then he was able to paint Jesus, and finish the painting..............
😁🙄..............................
So that Mel Brooks could have a funny scene in "History of the World, Part One"
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.
‘Medium’ is the artistic term for your materials, paint, canvas, etc...........
“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?
typo.....But it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for DaVinci to use a female model for a male character. He was known for ‘feminizing’ depictions of men in several paintings..............
It was a buffet line

The Illuminati is just trying to show their presence. France, the Olympics and Catholic Church is the target of the Illuminati.
Look at the guy in post 11. Looks like he’s holding a hamburger!.................
Leonardo remains notorious for not finishing work, this one he finished. He wasn't trained in fresco painting and tried his own method, which started to fail while he was still working on it. Ten years after he started this, he and Michelangelo were contracted to paint dueling frescoes of the Battle of Anghiari, and in the interval he still hadn't trained up, and ruined his surface. Michelangelo got called away by the Pope to begin the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
In Roman times it was common for meals to be taken around a triclinium, or three-sided table, so that the servers could bring food and drink into the middle.
Sounds like some government contractors I know..................
I was surprised to read details about Leonardo using “models” to paint the faces.
The Sistine Chapel ceiling, a series of frescoes painted by the legendary Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo, stands as one of the greatest works of art in world history.
He painted this on his back and such was his genius he apparently did not use models for the figures.
Yeah, it was kinda difficult to get models to stick to the ceiling. After about the third loss he gave up................😁
“ Because one of them said, “Everyone who wants in the picture, get on this side of the table”...?”
Yep.
Phone cameras back then just weren’t as good.
The pano feature on the IPhone hadn’t been invented yet.
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.
