Oh sheesh I didn’t realize it had been repainted umpteen times!

As a portrait artist and writer, I have been “researching the research” re Mary Magdalene for decades - long before “The daVinci Code” - and am slowly gathering information for my own theories on MM, which include Leonardo’s painting.

I have, in my studio, a large poster of a reproduction of the painting done in oils on canvas = PRE 1545. It may have been done in Leonardo’s life time. It has been pretty much settled that if Leonardo did not work on it himself, it was done by one or more of his students - who would have also worked in the Milan wall.

The two figures, on opposite ends, in question, do not have the faint halos visible on the others. And the Mary/John figure is even more feminine than what is left on the Milan wall after all the disastrous damages over the generations

Leonardo was NOT at the last supper..

I've checked over my post #37 several times and just can't find where I might have implied that he was.

Actaully, further scrubbing revealed even more detail. ;)

Look “closelier”.

I’ve wanted to reply to this for half an hour but cannot for the life of me figure out how to post photos. I’m really sorry for the distraction, but can somebody help me on this front?

DaVinci often painted male figures with feminine features. It was his attempt to convey youth.

Nothing strange here.

Has anyone ever considered that materials were expensive in the days when the painting was made and that it was a frequent practice among artists to just apply a solid colr topcoat of some kind or anothewr to an existing unwanted painting and then simply paint over it. With time the oils and colors of the painting underneath could simply migrate up and bleed into the visible picture as if it was a hidden feature?

I found one in a box of Cracker Jack — I discovered it by almost choking on it, but it was worth it...

Not this stuff again...

Look, DaVinci WASN'T AT THE LAST SUPPER!!

I don't care how many women he put into his painting, or who was sitting where in the painting, or what shadows appear in the painting...the fact is it's just that--a painting, created hundreds of years after the fact!! It's not like it was a live photo.

[Old Professer]

Looks like a duck to me.

Any sign of Waldo?

And/or Dora The Explorer?

Reverse the "<"'s and it'll work. But the image has to be hosted somewhere. You can't simply point to your own hard drive.

Hope that helps.

That’s quite a history lesson ... thank you for sharing it.

[ravensandricks]
