Abstract: (1656 Views) |
Painted between 1494 and 1499, Leonardo DaVinci’sThe Last Supper has attracted many artists’ attention, and the painting has been recreated in many forms ever since. More recently, in is not only contemporary artist Judy Chicago who creates her version, but also an Iranian photographer called Azar Emdadi who makes a thought-provoking photo-collage inspired by The Last Supper. The two works are compared in the present paper. It starts by answering the core question of the research: what has raised so much praise about "The Last Supper", and prompted other artists to create wonderful works? The finding is that DaVinci’s work opens up the possibility of creating numerous works in various styles and techniques. The paper concludes that The Last Supper can be seen in the work of both aforesaid artists as promoting new moves both in the choice of subject and the application of technique.
