Speaking of The Last Supper of Jesus Christ, we remind of the great mural
painted by Leonardo da Vinci. The mural was painted in accordance with
perspective method, and the position of figures are well-balanced, and
arrangement of things static and of figure that moves is so beautiful that
people who see the mural are mesmerized. The mural was depicted with thorough
realism in detail and close to perfection.
But close look at the right side of Peter, the fourth person from the left,
made us wonder whose hand is this, the hand with a knife coming out behind
judas. His wrist is twisted unnaturally.
So far as i know, there is no explantory book pointing to this mystery.
Peter's elbow was bent not because hi is exoited with anger and wonder,
It was not because of the fable that Loannes's intuition pierced Judas's
heart. I wonder what message Leonardo da Vinci want to pass to with this
unnatural wrist. I want to visit Milan and think of this mystery standing
in front of the restored wall painting.
I'm looking forward to hearing the satisfactory answer from a person of
high authority.
