The Last Supper, is extremely interesting and instructive. Historical Christian belief tells us that two real incidents connected with it afford a most convincing lesson on the effects of right thinking or wrong thinking in the life of a man. The Last Supper was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci; and the time engaged for its completion was approximately seven years. The figures representing the twelve Apostles and Christ himself were sketched from living persons.

The life-model for the painting of the figure of Jesus was chosen first. DaVinci carefully viewed hundreds of young men in his endeavor to find a face and personality exhibiting innocence, free from the scars and signs of dissipation caused by sin. Finally, after weeks of laborious searching, a young man nineteen years of age was selected as a model for the portrayal of Christ.
