The Last Supper

好久沒上來寫東西了. 因為肩膀手臂常常痛, 所以其實也不太敢多用電腦.
今天生病在家, 讀了讀義大利旅遊書 (極力推薦這一位作者: Rick Steve, 內容很實在, 不多說廢話, 而且很親切好像他就在你旁邊跟你解說介紹).
講到 Florence, 就一定講到 文藝復興, 講到文藝復興, 大家一定知道 達文西, 讓人就不得不想到有名畫作"最後晚餐", 因 達文西密碼 曾經喧噪一時. 我當時並沒有仔細閱讀到底是怎麼回事. 剛剛好奇就 Google 到處看了看, 覺得蠻有趣的. 我尤其喜歡這個 website. 簡單明瞭. 我同意該文所說的 (copy below), 一個畫家會看看一幅畫的對稱性是很正常的, 達文西一定有想到甚至比畫過. 不過到底達文西在他的畫作裡藏了多少秘密, 就不得而知了. 達文西真的是很聰明, 實在太佩服他了! 像蒙娜麗莎也是廣為討論, 甚至說是他的自畫像, 也許這一幅"最後晚餐", 他也故意隱藏一些他自己的 (而不一定是關於耶穌的) 秘密在裡面.
很期待八月的義大利之旅!

Could Leonardo have pulled this off, even if he wanted to?
Sure. One important thing to remember is that Leonardo would have sketched this intensively on parchment before beginning work on the fresco. It is absolutely reasonable for him to have laid two sketches on top of one another to organize the dual image. It was (and is) also common practice for artists to view their work in a mirror for a fresh look at the composition. Leonardo is widely regarded as one of the most intelligent people in history. Clearly he could have executed such a thing, if he chose to.
