“The news may revive the debate about the painting’s alleged hidden meanings, which was stirred up by Dan Brown’s bestselling thriller The Da Vinci Code.

In The Da Vinci Code, Brown controversially suggested, among other things, that the figure closest to Jesus in the painting was not St John but Mary Magdalene.”

For the life of me I just can’t understand all the hoopla!

It is a painting...not a photograph of the Last Supper. DaVinci was NOT in attendence at that table, so ANY depiction that he creates is from his imagination.

Thanks for some sanity here. Even if Leonardo painted in Ezekial’s wheel, it doesn’t mean it was at the Last Supper.

Same here. All I could figure is that this conspiracy includes the idea that Da Vinci knew about the secrets alleged by the theorists to be true.
