I love this subject. I have been facinated with this painting for about 26 years. As a preschooler, my mom would take me over to my Grandmas house while she went and cleaned houses. My Grandma had a very old tapestry of the last supper hanging on the wall in the kitchen. That thing was about as big as the table itself. Anyway, I am surprised now that the tapestry was exactly the same as the origional, beings that there are so many different ones out there today.

Anyway, on to my point. I noticed at a very young age that the person sitting on Jesus's right hand side was a girl. My Grandma about had a heart attack. Im sorry, it can be labeled what ever, but in the origional painting (before it was "touched up") that person had BOOBS. If he was going to draw a woman there, I seriously doubt that he would label it as such. I recon no one will ever know for sure.

I also noticed the hand with the knife, that came from no one seen in the painting. She about had a heart attack over that one too haha. I am not sure what it means, but the knife is pointing at the light source.

Also, as you look at the painting, the third person from Jesus on the right, does not belong there. Take a look at him, notice the shadows on his face. He doesnt fit. He is the only person or thing in the room that has a different light source, a light source that does not come from anything in that room.

As for the cup that isnt there, look at the origional painting, and pay attention to Jesus's right hand. It is either an invisable cup, or glass.....whatever. His right hand is on the cup.

OK, I'm back, I know I'm a little late but I completely forgot all about this forum, I just got so backed up in my work. But things have eased up now, and I was just going though my bookmarks and I noticed this one and I'm like "Oh yeah, this thing." And since this topic doesn't seem completely dead yet, I'll post stuff.

Where to start, I guess first thing is the picture I said I would post, I'm not gonna scan the entire thing, that would take forever, but I did scan the page that has the Apostle John(also, in my opinion he looks a lot more like a guy in this picture, at least to me), so heres a link, hope it works, first time doing this, which is also why I just gave a direct link instead, was afraid to experiment.

And heres a smaller but full picture of the entire last supper painting in black and white.

Now to talk about some things about "the Last Supper," "Leonardo," and "that stupid The Da Vinchi code crap."

If you notice in the picture(which as far as I know is a picture of the actual painting), the Apostle John doesn't look all that girlish. Its probably harder to tell on all those small picture of the paintings and poorly done recreations of the painting. And you gotta remember, Leonardo wasn't there, the painting was his recreation of a very great event, to him an event truly worthy of an artist. But he did have a bunch of notes and written commentaries or something of his work as well, plus other people have kept logs themselves, so we do know quite a bit of what went on then, many of these documents are still around as far as I know. Plus he used models to help him paint the picture too, you're looking at people from the late 14 hundreds. And from what I can gather, Leonardo wasn't trying to create some hidden message or anything, he was recreating a great event, he wanted to paint there expressions, how they felt at that time, and be able to see it and so much more. I also scanned a few more pages from the book that talk about "The Last Supper" and a couple of his sketches. Theres probably more info about it all in the book but it will take a long time to find it, so this will have to do for now. As well, ConspiracyNut23, don't know if this is enough for you but heres some of his sketches(all the sketches my book has at least, I'm sure theres more in a museum or something). I've also added some of the stuff where the book talks about the last supper, I didn't bother to type it all, I'm to lazy to do that much, I just scanned the book, cropped stuff, I'm not to good at all of this but hopefully its OK. Well heres the links.

(I know the pages are different sizes, thats because there were a bunch of unrelated pictures I just cut those out, but all the pages are in order so read normally even if they don't explain much)

Something else about Leonardo, He was a very good Catholic who practiced his faith rather well. And he knew his religion, he knew what he was doing and wanted to do and yes, he knew that the person to the right of Jesus is St. John (As far as history tells us at least).

looks like Im running out of how much space I can use, I'll just post a second post hopfully.

Continued from before.

And the book "the Da Vinchi code", its a bunch of bull, completely fictional that(at least as far as a I can see) is trying to be passed as fact. And even as EdenKaia has said about historians, most historians(if not all) admit that this book is a bunch of nonsense and lies, and this book can easily be disproved(If your willing to listen at least). what ever the author was trying to do I don't know exactly. But just to point out a couple things to disprove this book. Lets take the Mona Lisa for one, in the book I believe the author was trying to say that Leonardo had some demonic meaning behind the name Mona Lisa or something, but the fact is, Leonardo never knew his painting was going to be called the Mona Lisa, its original name was "La Gioconda" I think, It wasn't named the Mona Lisa till 17 years AFTER his death. Another note, I think the book makes mention of Opus Dei, and how there was some evil monk in it or something, fact is there were never any monks in Opus Dei, its not that type of thing. This guy definitely didn't know what he was talking about. Just a couple things to think about. Sorry if this is all a little jumbled and hard to understand a little, but I'm doing this in a hurry, got some where to go soon. but I hope it will open some eyes. well till then.

PS, just incase, I have mentioned it before, but I will not respond to the immature. But despite that I MAY not be back for a little bit, we will see. and also, do not forget, the da vinchi code is fiction, it is NOT non fiction. sorry if this goes a little off topic, just wanted to get some points across, thats all. well hope this all helps, good bye for now.

John the Baptist

Take a look at this painting, also by LEONARDI DA VINCI, and tell me if you notice any similarities between this, and the supposed "Mary Magdalene" in the "Last Supper". I came upon this while researching something, and it made me think about another little inconsistency with this whole "mary" theory. If you look at Leo's paintings, wherever a woman is depicted(ALMOST always, anyway) in the company of others, especially of the opposite sex, he tended to give them a veil or some other kind of garment so that the viewer would be better able to differentiate. This is lacking in the "Last Supper". And then there is that ever obvious question, if this is supposed to be Mary, then where is John, a favorite among Jesus' diciples?
