"The Lord of the Rings" artist Alan Lee drew inspiration from Michelangelo's Pieta when he designed the Narsil Statue for the film "The Fellowship of the Ring". Like Michelangelo's Pieta, the Narsil Statue forlonly looks onto the remains of something once great, but now broken and lifeless.

It's really unfortunate Da Vinci's 'Last Supper' has degraded so badly over the years. I guess it shows even geniuses like Da Vinci can make mistakes.
ReplyDeleteBecause of the sensationalism of 'The Da Vinci Code', there has been much attention directed at Da Vinci's depiction of John, who some say is actually Mary Magdalene. Had the painting survived through the centuries intact, such theories may never have materialized; or perhaps no one would have seen the apostle next to Jesus as John but as Mary all this time.
