Last Supper by Bohdan Piasecki

Last Supper painting by Bohdan Piasecki

One might reasonably think that a picture of the last supper depicting Jewish people is not particularly diverse, except for the fact that many in the western world have mostly seen images of Da Vinci's Last Supper featuring Italians.  For an interesting discussion of the inaccuracy of Da Vinci's Last Supper, and how this painting by Piasecki addresses these, click here.

These digital images are of original artwork by artists as identified above; most were found using Google Images. Some were photographed in situ by me.

  1. Very interfaith-eclectic... much like it should have always been!
