Description
"I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Admiring the Last Supper painting, at the Hvar Franciscan Monastery, painted by Matej Ponzoni-Poncun.
The painter made this work for the Franciscans in gratitude for saving his life after a shipwreck.

Well hell, I like that Last Supper version better! Makes more sense that people are sitting AROUND a table instead of all on one side.
And GREAT shot, by the way. Love the colour--very rich.

great photo, congrats on the engagement ^_^
just curious, where did that quote come from?

are you serious? considering your signature i'd have thought you picked up on it immediately.

lol whats the point reading if you dont believe? and yes i know where its from, i've just never seen it quoted that way. what version of the bible is it from?

if you only read things you believe in then i guess fiction is totally out for you then lol. -_-'' Besides, it's good to know what people believe in, even if you don't. Hard to understand others if you don't make an attempt to see where they are coming from (hence 90% of the world's problems). It's from the new standard international interpretation (not directly mind you, it's paraphrased pieces together to make a whole quote). I've read the bible in various forms, Quran, Bhagavad GΔ«tΔ from the MahΔbhΔrata, buddhist writings and many others. You don't have to be a believer to read something and appreciate it for the sake of what it is. All these works of literature have had profound impacts on the world. Just as many non-religious writings have as well (think Darwin or Einstein or heck, even Jack Kerouac, he did start the whole "Beat Generation"). I find it amusing though how even in art, people don't realize there were more than 1 Last Supper Paintings. heh, only the Madonna and child and maybe the Crucifixion have had more renditions in that genre.

lol yeh i know xD!! geez 
and yes i know exactly what you mean about finding out about other's faiths and belief's to understand them more.

mmm i'd be reluctant to say there were more 'religious' people back then because of religious artwork for a few reasons. #1) there's way more people in the world today than at any point in history (in fact studies have shown that in the past 100yrs we've over doubled the world's population and in fact will possibly double again in the next 50...scary thought. the author of The world is Flat, Friedman has a book about that coming out I hear) and #2) Religious art was more common due to the fact that the people commissioning works of art were the Church itself in western art for a very long time. Really most of art history is full of sacred art or portraiture of nobility until more modern history. Thankfully Reubens/velasquez/rembrandts came along and smashed the old regime. and Alexiuss of course.

LOL at the last line! XD and yes he has very l33t skillz.
okay maybe not more, but there seems less of. in any case, i follow what you're saying
btw have you ever done any debating? you'd be good at it XD

way back in high school...gah that was a decade ago already. I'm fairly confident there are more religious people in the world still than non-religious

Greeeeeeat photo. Good use of perspective. Solid colors too, really like the tones. For some reason I want to crop the darkness on the right side out for a different take on it. However, what you've chosen is more than just a good shot.
Well done

THATS INSANE!!!
I didnt know the picture was that big!

Its an epic idea/truth. Our whole way of life revolves around it.

There's such a sharp contrast here that I can't help but keep staring at it.
What catches my eye the most, and I'm not sure of this was intentional or not, is Daria's hair. The curls and the light reflecting off of them gives it an almost cartoonish look, a not-quite-real air about it. As if it were the transitional point between painting and real life, and the two bled together into one odd hue.

unintentional, probably since she moved her head while the shot was being taken.

Ah. That would explain it, then.

Is that really the last supper??? It looks different somehow... the table should be longer, and it's missing several key parts such as the knife, the extra hand, mary magdalain, and much more...
nice photo though ^^
π: 0 β©: 2
haha extra hand? there none. you watch to many movies. though the mary/john thing can be debated ... da Vinci was a genius so I wouldnt put it above him to play some witty practical jokes.. heh.
π: 0 β©: 0
Hahahaha. you're thinking of Da Vinci's last supper. There's other last supper paintings, just so you know.
