Leonardo da Vinci full name Onado da Vinci, a famous Italian artist, is considered by later generations to be one of the most perfect representatives of the Italian Renaissance, he and Michelangelo, Raphael and called "the three masters after the Renaissance", talking about Leonardo da Vinci's famous paintings, the most familiar to the world, can not be "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper"
Enlarge these two paintings separately, you can find hidden secrets, such as "Mona Lisa", someone used a microscope to enlarge mona lisa's eyes, found that her right eye has two English letters "LV", obviously, this represents the abbreviation of Leonardo da Vinci's name, Mona Lisa's left eye, there are also two English letters "CE", these two English letters, who do they represent? The controversy has become an unsolved mystery.
Leonardo da Vinci was born in Florence, Italy, and his artistic achievements were developed by leaps and bounds, from 1482 to 1499, during which time Leonardo da Vinci lived in Milan, interestingly, he was not famous as a painter in Milan, Leonardo da Vinci was extremely accomplished in the seven-stringed piano, he was a musician, in Milan fame. While living in Milan, Leonardo da Vinci created the Mona Lisa.
In 1499, the mainland was in the twelfth year of the Ming Dynasty's Hongzhi, this summer, the French army invaded Italy, and on September 14, captured Milan, Leonardo da Vinci fled, to Venice while traveling, while doing scientific research.
In 1500, when the war subsided, Leonardo da Vinci returned to Milan and began to paint the famous "Last Supper" on the wall of a famous monastery restaurant in Milan.
The whole painting of the Last Supper is very large, with a length of nine meters and a width of four meters, and the difficulty of painting can be imagined, the theme of the painting is based on the New Testament, and Leonardo da Vinci depicts it in the monastery restaurant, which is very suitable.
The Last Supper is a classic story in the New Testament, as one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, The Jew, because of greed and selfishness, betrayed Jesus, the most important part of the Passover is the dinner together, the dinner between Jesus and the twelve apostles, everyone's attitude and mentality are different, and Leonardo da Vinci's painting depicts all the atmosphere.
Jesus had already known in advance that someone was going to betray Him, so he said to the twelve disciples, "One of you has betrayed me," and as soon as this word came out, the twelve disciples reacted differently.
Some are shocked, some are angry, and some are nervous.
The Last Supper, magnified 20 times, the actions of one of the men, reveals the secret. When you zoom in on the painting, you will see a detail, one of the twelve disciples, there is a man with a knife in his hand, who is this person?
Jesus also said, "The man who shares a saucer with me will betray me," and in the painting there is a man who extends his hand to the dish, and that person is the traitor Jew.
Next to the Jew, with a knife in his hand, ready to assassinate the Jew, was Peter, one of Jesus' three favorite disciples.
That is to say, Peter represented justice, and when Jesus said that someone had betrayed him, Peter had a premonition, and he was outspoken and impulsive, and the target of doubt was the Jew.
In addition, there are two other figures in the painting, it is worth noting, one is the little Jacob standing on peter's left, little Jacob comforts Peter with his hand, as if to warn Peter not to be impulsive and reckless, so as not to kill innocents, here you can see the mature and stable character of little Jacob. One was John, who was standing to Peter's right, and John was talking to Peter as if to discuss whether Jews were traitors.
The other figures in the painting are all talking to each other, but the Jew is alone, flustered and thoughtful.
The light in the painting is also very interesting, the three windows behind the wall, the light that shines through, all shine on Jesus, the figures on both sides of Jesus, the left side where the Judea is, are full of darkness, and the other side is full of light without Judea. The entire face of the Dark Left Jewish was almost black.
All in all, this "The Last Supper" has many hidden details, which are repeatedly tasted by posterity and endlessly reminiscent.
Today, it has been more than five hundred years since Leonardo da Vinci created this magnificent painting, this painting has also undergone many wars, time has been worn, many handwriting has begun to wither, throughout the ages, there are constantly painters on the original work, trying to restore and preserve this world famous work.
With the development of the times and the progress of scientific civilization, people also use high-tech means to protect this painting, hoping that this "Last Supper" will be passed down forever and continue to bring artistic shock to the world.
