What is the function of the painting the last supper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are hundreds if not thousands of paintings depicting this New Testament scene.

Assuming you mean the famous work by Leonardo da Vinci it is a wall painting (a mural) in the dining room of a convent. Every time the monks sat down to eat they would have the feeling to be at the table of Christ.

What signature or symbol did Leonardo da Vinci use on his paintings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No painting exits that contains his signature. As it turns-out, Leo did "sign" his work, but not with his name. We should note that several of his drawings were "signed" by other hands, later-- in order to make them more valuable.

Most artists were generally considered in no higher regard than other craftsmen.

The artist was announced by the benefactor who purchased the work, and was generally recognized by his style and reputation alone.

Almost all work at the time was anonymous (without being signed), and usually performed for the church or the rulers of the land. Art done for rich merchants, for instance, would be given in their name to the church-- they were called 'donors' and often were pictured in the works-- off to the side and smaller than the religious subject. Private commissions and portraits were rare.

What man of the Renaissance was an artist scientist and an inventor?

Asked by Wiki User

The renaissance was a time for rebirth of genii. people extended their intrests in many subjects. such people were DA Vinci, Brunelleschi, Michelangelo , Verocchio, Donatello and many more. However I am concentrating on the era's main capital : Firenze or Fiorenza, as known then. we must not forget Galileo or Giotto of Padova/Patavium or other cities. A perfect example, however, would be Leonardo, which mixed all of the subjects above in his life at once.

Where can you see the mona lisa?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's hanging in the Louvre gallery in Paris. Mona Lisa stands out amongst the great paintings for the detail in her hands, eyes, and lips. Da Vinci used a shadowing technique at the corners of her lips as well as the corners of her eyes which give her an extremely lifelike appearance and look of amusement.

What do critics say about the Mona Lisa?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

(Of the Mona Lisa) She is older than the rocks among which she sits; like the vampire, she has been dead many times and learned the secrets of the grave. Walter Pater - Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1873)

Curiosity and the desire for beauty - These are the two elementary forces in Leonardo's genius; curiosity of ten in conflict with the desire for beauty, but generating, in union with it a type of subtle and curious grace. Walter Pater - Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1873)

(Of Leonardo's Mona Lisa) What voluptuousness…so like the seduction by the violins in the overture to Tannhauser.

Maurice Denis - "Definition of Neotraditionism (1890)

The smile of La Gioconda was for too long, perhaps, the Sun of Art. The adoration of her is like a decadent Christianity - peculiarly depressing, utterly demoralizing. One might say to paraphrase, Arthur Rimbaud, that La Gioconda, the eternal Gioconda has been a thief of the energies. André Salmon, La jeune peinture francaise (1912).

(Of the Mona Lisa) Her hesitating smile which held my youth in a little tether has come to seem to me but a grimace and the pale mountains no more mysterious that a globe or map seen at a distance, a sort of riddle, an acrostic, a poetical decoction, a ballade, a rondel, a villanelle or ballade with double burden, a sestina or chant royal. The Mona Lisa (is) literature in intention rather than painting - George Moore, Wale, (1914).

Asked by Wiki User

It helped out when an army wanted to invade a territory or a enemy fortress by not using "the front door" though many cases it did not work because the transportation was easy to spot from really far away.
