The Last Supper Story
The Last Supper, is extremely interesting and instructive. Historical Christian belief tells us that two real incidents connected with it afford a most convincing lesson on the effects of right thinking or wrong thinking in the life of a man. The Last Supper was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci: and the time engaged for its completion was approximately seven years. The figures representing the twelve Apostles and Christ himself were sketched from living persons.
The life-model for the painting of the figure of Jesus was chosen first. DaVinci carefully viewed hundreds of young men in his endeavor to find a face and personality exhibiting innocence, free from the scars and signs of dissipation caused by sin. Finally, after weeks of laborious searching, a young man nineteen years of age was selected as a model for the portrayal of Christ.
For months, Da Vinci worked on the production of this leading character of his famous painting. During the following years, Da Vinci continued his labors on this sublime work of art. One by one fitting persons were chosen to represent each of the eleven Apostles: space being left for the painting of the figure representing Judas Iscariot as the final task of this masterpiece.
