“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?
