The ideas that the unique chalice in The Last Supper also represents the Grail, and that the Apostle John on the right of Jesus was Mary Magdalene, are not unfeasible. But then great art is always evocative allowing the beholder to always interpret it in his own way.<BR/><BR/>I read somewhere that Leonardo's preferred master piece was his most famous 'Gioconda', so much so that he often carried it about with him. No artist has ever managed to reproduce it satisfactorily although hundreds in history have tried and keep on trying. Others prefer to deride it, which is much easier. <BR/>It could be surmised that it represents the concentrated knowledge, understanding and sentiment of Leonardo, which would make it more a 'self-portrait', than a painting of anyone in particular. This would also explain why there is no real certainty, despite a few theories, as to the identity of the sitter, which seems strange for such a great work of art.Mirinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762774089637304953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33445632.post-46896294096426974822009-04-09T12:03:00.000+02:002009-04-09T12:03:00.000+02:00Ho messo esattamente la stessa foto sul blog. tele...Ho messo esattamente la stessa foto sul blog. telepatia?<BR/>Buona giornata!Nobile di Trevisohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364684902525486619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33445632.post-52590151972108501962009-04-09T12:02:00.000+02:002009-04-09T12:02:00.000+02:00the last supper is not a fresco, if it were a fres...the last supper is not a fresco, if it were a fresco it would be intact to this day, it was painted in oils on top of a lime whitewash. because it was painted in oils it began to flake and degrade within a couple of decades of it's completion due to moisture and contraction of the wall. fresco paintings were painted directly onto wet plaster and so were done relatively quickly.Skratakhhttp://www.skratakh.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
