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.
