The two

The figures representing

The life-model for the painting

>> > > > > >
>> > > > > > Finally, after weeks of laborious searching, a young

For six months, Da Vinci

This was the

>> > > > > >
>> > > > > > For weeks, Da Vinci searched for a man with a hard

>> > > > > >
>> > > > > > After many discouraging experiences in searching for

>> > > > > > Rome, sentenced to die for a life of crime and murder.
>> > > > > >
>> > > > > > Da Vinci made the trip to Rome at once, and this man
>> > > > > > was brought out from his imprisonment in the dungeon

There Da Vinci
>> > > > > > saw before him a dark, swarthy man; his long,
>> > > > > > shaggy and unkempt hair sprawled over his face,
>> > > > > > which betrayed a character of viciousness and
>> > > > > > complete ruin.
At last, the famous painter had found

>> > > > > >
>> > > > > > By special permission from the king, this prisoner

You may take the

Look at me again for I am the same man you

>> > > > > >
>> > > > > > This is the true story of the painting of The Last Supper

>> > > > > > or wrong thinking on the life of an individual.
Here was
>> > > > > > a young man whose character was so pure, unspoiled by
>> > > > > > the sins of the world that he presented a countenance of
>> > > > > > innocence and beauty fit to be used for the painting of a
>> > > > > > representation of Christ.
But within seven years, following
>> > > > > > the thoughts of sin and a life of crime, he was changed
>> > > > > > into a perfect picture of the most traitorous character ever
>> > > > > > known in the history of the world.
