It's no secret that Leonardo had an alterior motive for some of his
works commissioned by the Vatican. I'm convinced art enthusiasts the
world over would be appalled if the professional 22-year restoration of
The Last Supper were modified or deviated from the original in any
significant way. In fact, a major part of the restoration included the
removal of cover-ups applied to the painting over the years.
I would be surprised to find anything in the painting related to Jack
Benny, the Queen Mum, finks, or Michelangelo Buonarroti's sexual
preference. What I do propose is that the cup of Christ, one of the
most significant aspects to the story of Christ's last supper, has not
been found in the painting until now. My web site,
www.realmoftwelve.net, goes to great lengths to show how nuances are
hidden in art through the ages for perhaps no greater reason than it's
fun to do and thrilling to discover.
