Geometry of The Flagellation

The diagonal AE of that square passes through the V, vanishing point of perspective.

Further, in square ATVK we see that arc KT from A cuts the diagonal at Christ's head, F, halfway up the painting. Thus Christ's head is at the center of the original square

THE LAST SUPPER

LEONARDO DA VINCI

FLORENTINE 1495-1498 181 X 346 1/2” MILAN

LAST SUPPER-RESTORED

First to depict acting as real people

Greatest ex. Of one point perspective – all lines to Jesus head

Looking across the picture from left to right:

• Bartholomew, James Minor and Andrew form a group of three. All are aghast, Andrew to the point of holding his hands up in a "stop!" gesture.

• Judas, Peter and John form the next group of three. Judas, you will note, has his face in shadow and is clutching a small bag (of silver?). Peter is visibly angry and a feminine-looking John seems about to swoon.

• Christ is the calm in the midst of the storm.

• Thomas, James Major and Philip are next. Thomas is clearly agitated, James Major stunned and Philip seems to be seeking clarification.

• Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon comprise the last group of three figures. It appears that, when a situation turns ugly, Simon is the "go to" guy for explanations.

Castagno 1445-50Architecture has a strangely oppressive effect on the figures

B/c perspective was devised before diners painted
