The Last Supper

There has been an issue about this painting for ages now. I cant believe how dumb people can get. Why dont they think and get some sense into their heads. The first and major mistake that all the guys make is this : Who on earth would ever sit in a single straight line and eat. If you see in the painting, all the disciples including Jesus Christ are sitting in one line and passing things to each other. Now think straight, would anyone do that? Also observe that the room in the painting seems long enough to place the table at 90degress to how it looks in the painting, why did they want to sit all cramped up when there was enough place. Jesus Christ being the head might have sat at the head of the table and the rest of the 12 disciples might have sat 6 on either side of the table. This seems reasonable. This fact is so simple and i dont believe people actually get it wrong. The second wrong fact is that, this drawing was drawn by DaVinci ages after Jesus was on earth, and this painting of his is just an imagination of how he thought it would have been back then. How can people make a controversy out if it saying that the person who is sitting beside Jesus looks feminine and that he/she could have been Jesus's wife and a big story being weaved over it. How dumb...

Now lets get some facts right ....

It was way back in 1406 that an artist named Filippo Brunaleschi who introduced the art of perspective. The last supper was painted before DaVinci, but in all the paintings, other versions i mean, it was a top view. The glasses and food on the table looked as if they were falling off. Then this guy Filippo Brunaleschi was excellent at geometry and brought about a revolution by bringing a perspective to his paintings (he was not awarded the title as the father of perspective though) where in he saw to it that most of his paintings were on parallel lines which disappeared into the background and he made paintings with a first person point of view, that is as if you were actually looking at it standing in front of it. This art of his was adopted by DaVinci and he came up with his own version of The Last Supper. He painted it in between 1495-1498, nearly 100 years after Brunaleschi introduced his new form of painting. DaVinci thought of not drawing the backs of people and so he painted them all in line so that all the faces of the disciples and Jesus could be seen. He then added a unique facial feature to all the 13 people. He chose to draw one of the disciples to look slightly feminine, (dont know why he chose to do that) and thats it.... So called "Purists" weaved all kinds of stories around it. What dumb asses. If you check in Wikipedia it quotes the bible verse where the whole scene is described. Got to give credit to DaVinci for having painted it by just listening to somebody reading it out to him, but a slight observation of the verses brings to light the fact that the place where the Last Supper was taking place was in the top room of somebody's house and the room was also small. It had a table alright, but not big enough where in all the 13 people could sit in line. Dont know how DaVinci got this point totally wrong.

The picture on the left was painted by Filippo Brunaleschi. It is not a painting of the last supper, but this was the basic idea which Brunaleschi brought to the front. Observe clearly that he made it a point not to show anyone's back to the viewer of the picture. This is exactly what DaVinci did in his painting of the last supper .



This here is another version of The Last Supper. This one seems more reasonable and wonder why nobody made an issue out of this?

Common guys, get some sense into your heads. Now we cannot erase the scars created. We can atleast get the facts right and try and fill up the scars. Hope this article comes as an eye opener to many.
