The story of the painting of The Last Supper


After I red this article, I was quite astonished how the story turned out.

The story decribed the process Da Vinci went through when he was painting 

The Last Supper.At first,he had to choose the figures representing the 

twelve Apostles and Christ in the painting from living persons.The life-model

for Jesus was chosen first and Da Vinci took six months to paint the figure.

One by one,the Apostles were all being chosen and painted.The only one left

was Judas who betrayed his Lord for thirty pieces of silver.Da Vinci spent a

 lot of time searching for him but without any result,and he found a prisoner 

in a dungeon in Rome who would be the perfect representation for Judas.

Da Vinci got a special permission from the King to bring the man to Milan 

for him to paint,and he spent many months finishing the painting.When he 

finished,the prisoner suddenly broke loose and confessed that he was the 

young man who was chosen by Da Vinci to represent Christ seven years ago.


What a surprise!! seven years is a short period of time.However,during that

 time,the inncent young man who represented Christ turned into an evil prisoner.

Right thinking or wrong thinking determines what kind of life people live.This

is a very instructive story and it does make people think about what they 

really want in their life.
