Another close up to Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” This painting is not considered a fresco because of the manner in which Leonardo painted it, on a dry wall rather than on wet plaster. The painting represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples, as it is told in the Gospel of John, 13:21. Although author Dan Brown of “The DaVinci Code” wrote a compelling piece of fiction, the person seated to the left of Jesus is not Mary. Instead, it is John, who was the youngest apostle and who was often painted with feminine features. May 14, 2017
