Items related to The Secret Supper
Milan, 1497: Leonardo is completing The Last Supper. Pope Alexander VI is determined to execute him after realizing that the painting contains clues to a baffling and blasphemous message that he is driven to decode. The Holy Grail and the Eucharistic Bread are missing, there is no meat on the table, and the apostles, shockingly, are portraits of well-known heretics and none of them are depicted with halos. And why has the artist painted himself into the scene with his back turned toward Jesus? The clues to Leonardo's greatest puzzle are right before your eyes....

"Offers a new way of interpreting "The Last Supper,.".[and] a fresh contribution to the da Vinci industry." -- "Publishers Weekly"
"A most satisfying entertainment....The monastic life has not been depicted as vividly by any novelist since Umberto Eco's bestselling "Name of the Rose,"" -- "Daily News" (New York)
"In exposing heretical elements visible in Leonardo da Vinci's painting, "The Secret Supper" will astonish and enlighten readers. Javier Sierra serves up a plausible and intriguing story, highly seasoned with well-researched lore about the beliefs of medieval Cathars, whose faith included secret teachings allegedly confided to the most beloved companions of Jesus -- Mary Magdalene and John the Evangelist."
-- Margaret L. Starbird, author of "The Woman with the Alabaster Jar" and "Mary Magdalene, Bride in Exile"
Javier Sierra lives in Spain, where he is a celebrated radio and television presenter, and author.
