I have first seen this painting of Da Vince as a reproduction by Andy Warhol. During the last years of his life, Warhol created hundreds of paintings with very clear religious themes. According to Dr. Dillenberger, the Last Supper series was Andy Warhol’s last will and testament. She adds:

“Warhol’s contribution was so important. He was incredibly prolific. The number of works he created is beyond imagination. He created the biggest series of religious works of any American artist.”

Da Vinci’s original was painted on the wall of the Dominican convent of Sta Maria delle Grazie with oil. There are a number of things which to not match with the bible:

• The Painting was Day, the Supper was Night
• They were Eating Loaves of Bread and Fish
• There’s no Chalice
• The is a hand with a knife from nowere

Anyway, next time when I’m in italy I probably try to visit it if possible.
