There is no shortage of genius in this world, what is missing is genius that is outstanding in all aspects, Leonardo da Vinci is an all-round genius of the past, he is proficient in sculpture, invention, music, mathematics, physics, astronomy and other disciplines, and has made pioneering or landmark achievements in many fields, of course, his greatest achievement is painting.
Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance painter, and modern scholars call him "the most perfect representative of the Renaissance", and his masterpieces "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper" have achieved great achievements, reflecting his superb artistic achievements.
His paintings are not only superficial drawing techniques and techniques, but also the profound meaning behind them, and if you study them carefully, you will find a lot of detailed things. One of his most interesting paintings is probably The Last Supper.
The Last Supper is 420 cm wide and 910 cm long, which is quite innovative in the layout of the picture, originally the layout should be the disciples sitting in a row, Jesus sitting alone in a row, but Leonardo da Vinci let the disciples sit on either side of Jesus, those disciples next to Jesus, each person's facial expression, eye movements are different, panic, physical back, panic.
The Last Supper is based on the New Testament, and according to the New Testament Mark, on the day of the Passover, Jesus sat with 12 disciples for the last supper, and he said melancholy to the 12 disciples, "I tell you the truth, one of you is going to betray me. ”
When the 12 disciples heard the words, they were either shocked, angry, agitated, or nervous. "The Last Supper" represents the tense scene of this moment. It is precisely because this painting is depicted in detail that it is the most famous of these works of subject matter.
The betrayer in this painting is Judas, a man uglier than the devil, but he also shows remorse and self-loathing in this painting.
Judas holds a money bag in his hand, a reward for betraying Jesus, satirizing his greed, and he is the only person in the painting with a dark face.
Many people may not recognize Judas from the paintings, but quite simply, you need to know an allusion that Jesus once said, "He who shares a saucer with me is going to betray me." And in this painting, the person who reaches for food on the plate is Judas.
In addition to the various forms, we can discover the biggest secret of this painting after enlarging it 30 times. From these colorful movements, you can see the tension on the table. Zooming in, one will find a man behind the traitor Judas, his hands on his back, and a knife in his hand.
The disciple was named Peter, and when he heard the news of Jesus' betrayal, he leapt furiously, pressed down on Judas's shoulder, hurriedly asked Jesus what was going on, and pressed his left hand with a knife against Judas, looking ready to stab the traitor with the knife.
Peter's action not only pointed out who the traitor was, but also expressed his image of being violent and impulsive, but full of justice.
From this painting, the disciples are all communicating with each other, and only Judas is sitting there alone, looking like a weak heart, which also shows that he is the traitor.
It can be seen that Leonardo da Vinci took a lot of effort to complete this painting, carefully completing every detail, which is one of the reasons why this painting became famous, and few paintings later achieved the achievement of "The Last Supper", because Leonardo da Vinci injected emotion into it.
Leonardo da Vinci did not create this painting on paper, but on a wall now located in the Church of Santa Maria in Milan, so that each figure could be better depicted.
At that time, he also used paint to improve the brightness of the details, but over time, the painting began to fade 20 years after its completion, and the paint began to decay and has become unrecognizable.
In order to save the painting, later generations carried out complex restoration work on it, but only part of it was completed, and the rest could not be repaired.
Nowadays, many secrets have been discovered in this painting, but because other parts cannot be repaired, we do not know what interesting details those parts are.
Leonardo da Vinci believed that the most beautiful object of study in nature is the human body, the human body is a wonderful work of nature, and the painter should take people as the core of the painting object. Only by loving this work can we make the work more vivid, and the works with feelings can most touch people's hearts.
