Ceccano, concorso a premi, trova la chiesa

Bisogna rintracciarla in mezzo a tutto quel cemento che vedete nella foto: fino a pochi anni fa se ne scorgeva il profilo ed era un punto di riferimento per tutti colorio che transitavano lungo la Frosinone Gaeta, oltre ad essere da quattro secoli parte del patromonio culturale di Ceccano. Ora non si vede più: palazzi davanti e dietro hanno soffocato l’architettura della chiesa settecentesca…

When we think about painters and paintings, the first thing that comes to our mind is Da Vinci.

Leonardo da Vinci is one of the most popular painters and all of his works are considered to be historic treasures.

When we think about his works, one of the first paintings that come to our mind is The Last Supper artwork.

This piece has provoked a lot of conversations, there are a lot of mysteries about it, and it combines history, religion, tradition, and of course, art.

Here are some interesting facts about the Last Supper painting that will surprise you:

When we learn more about a piece of art, we want to know more about the technique used.

We are taught that there are several techniques that were used by painters in their lifetime.

We expect all of the pieces that they have created to be made using the same technique.

One interesting thing about this piece is that Da Vinci did not use the fresco technique.

Many believed that this is what Leonardo went with, however, that is completely untrue.

He used his own technique where he was able to make changes and insert an amazing amount of detail.

The Last Supper is not a fresco and this caused the peace to break loose after about 20 years after he created it.

You should definitely explore this style and learn more about it if you ever get a chance to talk to a professional. You can find out more about this technique as well as the Last Supper painting if you take the Last Supper Tour in Milan, Italy.

When we think about famous paintings, we assume that they are either part of a private collection or that they are located in a museum.

An interesting piece of information about the Last Supper painting is that it is not located in a museum.

Currently, you can find it in Milan, in the Santa Maria Delle Grazie church.

The reason why this piece of art is not located in a museum is because of its delicate nature.

Experts suggest that because of the technique of painting that Da Vinci used, the piece is extremely fragile and any relocation could possibly mean that the painting would be ruined.

You can find replicas in different museums all around the world, but if you want to see the original, the Dominican convent is the only place where you can see it.

Another extremely interesting fact is that when you see this painting, there is only one focal point, Jesus.

The perspective of the piece is created so that your eyes will always end up looking at Jesus.

The way that Da Vinci managed to create this is with a hammer and nail.

Experts suggest that the painter used a nail and then strung threads in different directions to be able to capture the perspective and the symmetry that he was looking for.

It is assumed that Leonardo also used this to add a layer of symbolism and combine religion with art.

One thing is for sure, he managed to get everyone who looks at this piece of artwork to focus on Jesus only, and when you first look at the painting, your eyes will be hyper-focused on him only.

The Last Supper painting is said to have almost been destroyed more than a few times.

As we previously mentioned, the technique that the painter used turned out to be extremely fragile only two decades after finishing the artwork.

He had to repaint this piece many times, and after his death, the Last Supper was corrected on many occasions.

It is suggested that you cannot see any of the original brush strokes just because of the fragile nature of the technique used.

In the mid-1650s, there were details removed from the peace, and there were also parts that got completely destroyed because of the improper way of keeping it.

It was almost completely destroyed in the 18th century when Napoleon invaded Milan

During the Second World War, when the monastery where it was kept was bombed, the Last Supper was almost completely destroyed.

Luckily, this piece survived everything, and now, even though it’s fragile, it is still in one piece.

When we think about the Last Supper, we all know about the controversies, the mysteries, and the assumptions that people make.

Many believe that the painter wanted to convey a specific message to the public with it.

Some believe that he was showing off and strengthening his faith, while others believe that DaVinci was, in a way, mocking religion with the Last Supper.

One of the most interesting conversation points is if Mary Magdalene is actually a part of the piece or not.

The person that is painted on the left side of Jesus is believed to be Saint John.

However, some believe that since this person has a lot of feminine features, the painter actually wanted to portray Mary Magdalene and not Saint John.

Experts say that the youthful features that are portrayed are a symbol of the Renaissance, so the person on the left is actually Saint John and Mary Magdalene is not at all included in the painting.

You should know that there are three early copies of this piece of art that are presumed to have been painted by Leonardo da Vinci’s assistants.

Throughout the years, many replicas have been created. Some are parts of big museums, while others are part of private collections.

This art piece is one of the most important ones in the world. If you are able to travel, you should definitely explore the tour that will allow you to see the painting in person.

You should expect to see a piece that is much larger than one could assume.

No matter if you’re interested in the painter, the piece, or maybe just the controversies surrounding it, you should witness it in person.

"New Years Eve was supposed to be fun – instead we ended up in a prison cell. This is your fault." with nathan roping the reader into a quick job before they were going to go celebrate new year’s eve and they got caught stealing something

one of my favorite blurbs to write because just like nathan im also a history whore 😳

pairing: nathan drake x reader

winter blurbs 2.0 ❄️ | 2.0 masterlist ❄️

nathan hated cathedrals. it was a fact that there was an unspoken dispute between him and the nuns. you never knew why because he was oddly silent about his past– and this was the case when you were his best friend. all you knew about him was that he had an older brother who left him in one when they were kids.

you were all he had left now. not your own words, he’d told you so on various occasions.

but when he asked you to accompany on another hiest at santa maria delle grazie. it was 3:54 am when you found yourself holding a torch to help nathan.

“did you know, against the tradition, leonardo da vinci used oil to paint ‘the last supper’ on wet plaster.” the brunette explained as the two of you passed the mural.

“why do all your historical facts surface while we’re stealing stuff.” you rolled your eyes.

“it’s a historical place!” he whisper-yelled at you.

“can we get that cross already?” you sighed.

“it’s not just a cross, it’s a key to one of the greatest lost treasures of all times. when ferdinand magellan set to sail across the world-” twixt all his rambling, his hand wrapped around yours, pulling you over to wherever this ‘key’ was. your heart did a flip even though you told yourself it was just anxiety in case you got caught, “if we found that thing, it would be the best new year’s present ever.”

“nate.” you flashed your torch towards the glass case, signalling to your partner in crime that you found the golden cross.

he rushed the two of you over, already trying to figure out a way to hack the keypad lock to open the case.

what the two of you hadn’t noticed was the presence of a third party– more like a fleet of police officers. apparently one of the nuns at the cathedral had called the cops.

and so what could have been a beginning to the best new year of your lives, turned into a buzzkill. nate paced around the prison cell while you sat in a corner, “it was right in front of us.” nathan complained dejectedly.

“new years eve was supposed to be fun – instead we ended up in a prison cell. this is your fault.” you voiced your thoughts. nate gave you an apologetic look.

“i know. i’m sorry about that.”

you parted the space beside you in attempt to call him to sit with you. he trudged over, sitting beside you with crossed legs, “i guess you could call that a little bit of fun.” you chuckled making him do the same.

the dull yellow of the bulb inside the dungeon and the pale moonlight peeking in from outside lit up nate’s eyes as you stared into them. for a moment you thought he was leaning in, but for all you knew you were being delusional.

you blinked a few times to break out of this trance you’d put yourself in. however, you were proven right– and wrong, respectively– when a pair of soft lips was placed over yours.

nathan’s breath fanned against your cupid’s bow as he moved his lips against yours, sliding a hand behind your neck to pull you closer.

as soon as the two of you parted, a content sigh left nathan’s throat, “i promise to get us out of here before new year, baby.”

[artinthedetails]

There's so much to unpack in da Vinci's Last Supper, so we're going to look at it for a few days. First up--let's take a look at Judas, the figure on the left in this detail. da Vinci shows him clutching the bag full of the coins he got for betraying Jesus just as it's being foretold that someone will betray him. Judas' other hand is reaching toward a bowl, and this is a direct reference to the Bible. Matthew 26:23 it says "Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me." Most likely, the writer of this gospel meant this figuratively. It's like Jesus is saying that somebody who he's hung out with, eaten with and trusted will betray him. da Vinci makes this literal as if Judas is guiltily recoiling from a bowl, realizing he dipped his hand in it at the same time as Jesus. Next, look how long and pronounced Judas' neck is. We get a full view of it unlike the other disciples who are mostly partially obscured. da Vinci was probably foreshadowing that before this story would end, Judas would end his own life by hanging. Unfortunately, some art historians see racial biases in the portrayal of Judas as well. His skin tone is much darker than the other disciples who are white-passing but in reality would all have had a darker skin tone since they were from what we now call the Middle East. Complete image
