The Last Supper??

Does anyone know the following questions?鈥︹€?.





-Who influenced da Vinci to make this painting?


-Who did he work with friends/ contemporaries?


-what was his earlier work?


-how did he developed his unique style like how does his panting the last supper represent that?


-What do dey say of his painting now a days?


-Was he a success in their lifetime?
The Last Supper??
- Biblical Depictions were the bases of the Renaissance era, He is also not the only one to depict the Last supper considering it is in the bible.





-He worked on the painting by himself- much of his well known paintings are not large in size.





-His earlier works consist of biblical scenes- %26quot;annunciations%26quot; so to speak, considerably smaller than his latter works.





-Leonardo was a self-learner, like most artists and doctors at that time, to really get the anatomy--there were gatherings late at night, full of doctors and artists over dead bodies to disect and gain knowledge of the human form. He also was ardent observer of life, if you%26#039;ve ever read a reproduction of his notebooks you will see his detailed comments about landscapes, values, and painting principles.





Leonardo is the most well-known painter and intellect in history, he first introduced the idea of flight, and it is said he also had schematics on an %26#039;elevator%26#039; contraction.





there is just too much on him, you cannot be too detailed
The Last Supper??
1)Da Vinci was influenced to do this work because he was commissioned.


2)Artists around his time include Michaelangelo and Raphael.


3) An example of earlier works include %26quot;Annunciation%26quot; 1475.


4) An unique style could be the balance and harmony he includes in his work by usuing basic lines and a foreground, midground and background. We also look as if we are %26quot;within the work%26quot; which is evident in the last supper.


5) Today, they say that this painting is controversial. Some believe that Da Vinci included secrets within the work, such as %26#039;the character next to Jesus is actually Mary Magdaline, and that Jesus loved her more than the other diciples%26quot;. look up %26quot;Dan Brown%26quot; who wrote %26quot;the da Vinci Code%26quot; Others believe it is a beautiful and religious work.


6) I believe he was a success because he was commissioned to make many works for important and weathly people. If in any doubt, visit this website.
