Counting Hands (Score:2)

by davorg (18)

I think that there are definitely too many hands in the picture if you count them up but, of course, it's impossible to tell which is the extra one.

Another interesting theory about the painting is that the person to the left of Jesus looks a lot like a woman. People have postulated that it is actually Mary Magdelene. Then you get into the whole can of worms about whether she was married to Jesus and whether she was "the disciple who Jesus loved" from John's gospel and all that stuff.

  Let's not forget that this painting is not a photograph... merely Da Vinci's portrayal. I always pictured the last supper at a round table.
