What makes me right is because I've seen it what makes me wrong is because I'm on here questioning you.

How was he wrong? Leonardo da Vinci was one of the seven best painters of all time and a universal genius. I think, by considering that, you are much more likely to be wrong than he was. I studied Art History in college and on my own. I bought a book about it when I was 15 years old. What are your qualifications for judging paintings? The greatest painters in history were 1.Jan Vermeer van Delft, 2.Diego Velasquez, 3.Raphael Urbino, 4.Leonardo da Vinci, 5.Michelangelo Buonarotti, 6.Apelles and 7.Zeuxis.One thing you should know is that da Vinci used an experimental medium with oils, not the usual fresco or casein, to paint "The Last Supper", so it soon faded badly, and no one knows exactly how the original looked. What exists is a restoration, and one cannot expect any restorers to be anywhere near as skillful as the 4th best painter in history. If you believe there are mistakes, blame the restorers.

There is no such thing as "wrong" when it comes to an Artist. It is all a personal interpretation. How do you know it is wrong? I have a painting that is of the last supper that is totally beautiful. It depicts 10 men and 2 women-clearly. The colors are rich. I love it.

He didn't paint it "wrong" or "right" -- it's just his image of what the scene may have looked like.
Works of art that depict an event in the Bible, such as "The Last Supper," do not purport to be an infallible statement on exactly what went on regarding that event.
There are merely artists' renditions.

How can anyone say he painted the Last Supper wrong when there are no clear eyewitness accounts of it for comparison? The Gospels don't count since they're contradictory and unreliable in many other places.

He painted things as best as he could picture them, but he didn't know Middle Eastern customs as well as people do now, and didn't know things such as how people reclined to eat, instead of sitting at a table like they do now.
I think that the painters of the middle ages are even funnier, showing the armies of Pharaoh coming against Moses wearing suits of armor - but that's what they thought all armies looked like!

And Picasso's pictures are "right?" Who is to say it is wrong? None of us were there when he painted it, or when Jesus shared the last supper with his diciples. Curious question, thought. It did make me stop and think.

Its called art, not photography. No one knows what exactly happened at the Last Supper. There are no "wrong" versions, just different interpretations.

Been a while since I've looked at the painting...what's wrong with it?

How is it "wrong"? Remember, "The DaVinci Code" is a work of fiction...and not all the points made in it about the artwork are "true". There are many sides to the story.

you may not realise but to him it is not wrong , paintings are usually how someone perceives things to be. so in the last supper he only painted it the way he perceived it to be.
