  • The Last Supper Seen Six Ways by Louis Inturrisi the New York Times, March 23, 1997
    1 Andrea del Castagno’s Last Supper, in a former convent refectory that is now a museum. The Last Supper Seen Six Ways By Louis Inturrisi The New York Times, March 23, 1997 When I was 9 years old, I painted the Last Supper. I did it on the dining room table at our home in Connecticut on Saturday afternoon while my mother ironed clothes and hummed along with the Texaco. Metropolitan Operative radio broadcast. It took me three months to paint the Last Supper, but when I finished and hung it on my mother's bedroom wall, she assured me .it looked just like Leonardo da Vinci's painting. It was supposed to. You can't go very wrong with a paint-by-numbers picture, and even though I didn't always stay within the lines and sometimes got the colors wrong, the experience left me with a profound respect for Leonardo's achievement and a lingering attachment to the genre. So last year, when the Florence Tourist Bureau published a list of frescoes of the Last Supper that are open to the public, I was immediately on their track. I had seen several of them, but never in sequence. During the Middle Ages the ultima cena—the final supper Christ shared with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion—was part of any fresco cycle that told His life story. But in the 15th century the Last Supper began to appear independently, especially in the refectories, or dining halls, of the convents and monasteries of the religious orders founded during the Middle Ages.

  • Thursday the Last Supper on This Night We Commemorate Jesus' Meal
    Thursday The Last Supper On this night we commemorate Jesus’ meal with his disciples where he says some special words and does some special things. Let’s listen and see. Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us that we may eat it.” They asked him, “Where do you want us to make preparation for it?” “Listen,” he said to them, “when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house he enters and say to the owner of the house ‘The teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ “He will show you a large room upstairs, already furnished. Make preparations for us there.” So, they went and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal. When it was evening he came with the twelve. While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. He said to them “This is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for many.” When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. I wonder if this table reminds you of anything? Have you seen it at church? What happens at this table? I wonder how the disciples felt when Jesus said those words at supper, take, eat, take, drink? Do they remind us of anything we have heard at church? Every Sunday when we gather the priest says these words of Jesus.

  • Holy Week: Holy Friday & Saturday Evenings
    Holy Week: Holy Friday & Saturday Evenings HOLY THURSDAY EVENING Setting: The Upper Room I. The Washing of the Disciple’s Feet Gospel Text: John 13:2-17 At Jewish meals it was customary for the youngest to wash the hands of the guest present. Christ takes it a step further- he washes the feet in an expression of extreme humility. When Christ washed the feet of his disciples, he fulfilled a prophecy. "He who is greatest among you shall be your servant; whoever exhalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted" (Matt 23:11-12). Teaching on true discipleship: Christ says this in the middle of a series of condemnations of the Jewish Religious Teachers (Scribes & Pharisees). Liturgical Hymn: "Humbling Yourself in your compassion, You have washed the feet of your disciples, teaching them to take the path which as God You have followed. And Peter, who at first refused to be washed, yielded then to the divine command, and earnestly asked you that we may be granted Your great mercy." * Note: In certain Cathedrals and monasteries, there is a special ceremony of feet washing which follows the Liturgy. The bishop or abbot takes the role of Christ and twelve priests represent the apostles. The Washing on the Feet in relation to the Eucharist: The connection between the extreme humility in the washing was a teaching in the Cross. Our lives are to be one of sacrifice to God. The sacrifice is accomplished in Christ from the moment of his incarnation. All the acts of his life (his baptism, fasting, washing of the feet, offering the Last Supper and going to the cross all express a given reality: the extreme humility of Christ is his sacrifice and our salvation.

She received her Associates degree in Visual Communications from Sinclair Community College in 2007. Amanda notes: I knew Leonardo was an incredible artist, but what became obvious after researching and learning more about the man himself, is that he was a great thinker and intellectual. I believe those aspects of his personality greatly influenced his art and, in large part, made his work revolutionary for his time. Dr. Hillard notes: This paper presents a clear and original thesis about Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper that incorporates important scholarly research and Leonardo’s own writings. The literature on Leonardo is extensive, yet the author has identified key studies and distilled their essential contributions with ease.

  • The Transfiguration of the Visible. Leonardo's 'Last Supper'
    Studies in Visual Arts and Communication - an international journal Vol 6, No 1 (2019) on-line ISSN 2393-1221 The Transfiguration of the Visible. Leonardo’s ‘Last Supper’ Carmen Sârbu* Abstract What else can be said about Leonardo Da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’? An image so thoroughly analysed, interpreted and reinterpreted by historians, writers, researchers and artists or filmmakers. But still, it proves itself to be inexhaustible. The experimental technique used by Leonardo Da Vinci in his masterpiece ‘The Last Supper’ offers us an example of how materials respond to the way in which they are used, and the opportunity to discuss about the inherent vice from dematerialization to transfiguration of the image, using a phenomenological approach.We will also analyse how the visible integrates and interferes with the invisible until the nature of the image changes, generating a different aesthetic. The aim of this study is to highlight the dynamic role of materials in changing the nature of the image, even beyond the act of creation, and to provide a look from inside image to outside, to better understand its form, physiognomy, and this ambiguity between offering and hiding itself to us, in the same time. Keywords: `Last Supper`, Da Vinci, materiality, dematerialization, transfiguration, image, visible, invisible, inherent vice. About The Last Supper vastly has already to which architect Donato Bramante took part in been written, especially from an iconological 1492. The iconographic program for refectory was and iconographic point of view, proving an fixed on the topic of the inexhaustible source of inspiration for Christian sacrifice1, comprising the Crucifixion historians, writers, and researchers.

It is a family collection, formed by a father and son: Baron Anselm von Rothschild (1803–1874) of Frankfurt and Vienna, and Baron Ferdinand, who became a British citizen in 1860, and a Trustee of the British Museum in 1896. Named after Baron Ferdinand’s Renaissance-style château, Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, the Bequest is a 19th-century recreation of a princely Kunstkammer or ‘art chamber’ of the Renaissance. The collection demonstrates how, within two generations, the Rothschilds expanded from Frankfurt to become Europe’s leading banking dynasty.

Self-Portrait Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), the illegitimate son of the notary Ser Piero and a peasant girl known only as Caterina, was born in the village of Vinci, outside Florence. He was apprenticed in the shop of the painter and sculptor Verrocchio until about 1476. After a few years on his own, Leonardo traveled to Milan in 1482 or 1483 to work for the Sforza court. In fact, Leonardo spent much of his time in Milan on military and civil engineering projects, including an urban-renewal plan for the city. Leonardo da Vinci. Virgin of the Rocks, c. 1485, oil on wood The Virgin of the Rocks was painted around 1508 for a lay brotherhood, the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception, of San Francesco in Milan. Two versions survive, an earlier one, begun 1483, in the Louvre, and a later one of c. 1508 in the National Gallery in London. There is no general agreement, but the majority of scholars concede that the Louvre panel is earlier and entirely by Leonardo, whereas the London panel, even if designed by the master, shows passages of pupils’ work consistent with the date of 1506, when there was a controversy between the artists and the confraternity.

  • 50 Reasons the Last Supper Was Not the Passover
    part 2 50 Reasons the Last Supper Was Not the Passover he purpose of this chapter is to list, in one location, many of the reasons why Tthe Last Supper could not have been the eating of the Passover. While some reasons are very clear to see, others require more historical and biblical background to be fully understood. One of the strongest proofs stems from the fact that the day following this supper was not kept as the 15th-day great or high Sabbath. Many commentators don’t seem to fully comprehend the consequences of this timing— that if the 14th-day Passover were eaten at the Last Supper, then the Crucifixion day would illegally land on this 15th-day Sabbath of the Passover Festival. The Jewish nation revered the 15th day of Nisan, for it commemorated God delivering the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. God proclaimed that it be kept as an important Sabbath rest day, when “no work at all shall be done”; the only work al- lowed was preparing and eating the meals (Exodus 12:16, 17, 41, 42; Leviticus 23:7; Numbers 33:3). In the Old Covenant, He told the Israelites that “throughout your generations you are to celebrate it as a permanent ordinance” (Exodus 12:14). Even today Jews in Jerusalem celebrate this 15th day as a very special Sabbath. Therefore, to determine which day was actually the 14th-day Passover, all we have to do is examine the events listed in the Gospels to see which day was kept as the 15th-day high Sabbath.

  • ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO's LAST SUPPER by Eva Maria Lundin
    ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO’S LAST SUPPER by Eva Maria Lundin Under the Direction of Shelley Zuraw ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes Andrea del Castagno’s fresco of the Last Supper in the refectory of Sant’Apollonia, Florence. This study investigates the details of the commission, Castagno’s fresco in the iconographic tradition of representations of the Last Supper, the aspects which separate this Last Supper from previous examples in Florentine refectories, the fresco’s purpose in relation to its conventual setting, and also the artist’s use of both classicizing and contemporary elements and techniques. The central focus of my work is the significance of this fresco in terms of both the imagery Castagno employs and his possible sources. The purpose of this thesis is to recognize the innovative aspects of the fresco, as well as the role that Castagno played in the development of Florentine Renaissance art.
