There is no woman in da Vinci's Last Supper fresco. There is, however, a feminine looking apostle on the left side of Jesus. The idea of a woman in the fresco came from a popular fictional novel by Dan Brown, 'The Da Vinci Code'.

What were Leonardo da vinci's paintings about?

Leonardo da Vinci, was often hired to paint for Churches. Leonardo da Vinci, was not religious, and did not have the same beliefs as the Churches he painted for. As if to get revenge, he painted his beliefs of the Bible rather than the Churches. In the last Supper, There are supposed to be 13 men, and one cup (The cup Of Christ). However, in da Vinci's painting there are 12 men around the table and one women, who is immediately to the right of Jesus. This is supposedly his "wife" according to Leonardo da Vinci, her first name Mary, like his mothers. The second thing out of place is there were 13 cups... Not one cup. Leonardo did this to express his opinion that the Chalice (A.K.A Cup Of Christ) Was Mary. (Jesus's wife not his mother). Da Vinci's painting 'The Mona Lisa' is not a woman, nor a man. it is both. If you look at Mona Lisa's face it is not clearly a woman, nor a man. Mona is the god of male sexuality, while L'ISA is the goddess of female sexuality. That's why da Vinci called it the Mona Lisa. It is neither woman or man. So basically, most of da Vinci's paintings were about his view of Christianity, and the Bible. A little insight into the world of Leonardo da Vinci.
