When i started to research Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" in order to recreate it i found this wonderful book called "leonardo davinci's last supper".It was written in the mid fifties when a south carolinian became profoundly diturbed by the thought that The Last Supper was disintagrating. he financed Lumen Martin Winter to recreate it here in the united states. the painter took the approach of investigating Davinci the man and artist as a means of gaining insight into his relationship with each of these men in the painting. i have used this book and his deconstruction of the painting to give my own interpretation a traditional grounding.
