The masterpiece "The Last Supper" contains a few anomalies which some
have said Leonardo put into the painting as a personal comment. One of
the most interesting in this painting is the most obvious one, yet if
you mention it to most people, even those who are very familiar with
this painting, they will say, "No way!". It's right in plain sight but
it's rarely seen.
Between the third and fourth guys seated on the left, you can see a
hand, belonging to no one at the table, holding a knife in a threatening
manner. The man to the left of the knife seem to notice it suddenly and
has his hands up as if to ward off the attack he thinks is coming. If
you count carefully you can see all hands belonging to nearby guests are
visible and accounted for. Who does this hand belong to? No one at the
table. Why is it there? Some speculated that da Vinci was very jaded and
disagreed with the Church's
translation of Religion, so put in his little digs. <snip>
