I first created the A Vivaldi - The Madonna painting, in the stained-glass window format on canvas, and that got me thinking - Can I create another one? But this time I wanted to recreate Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper". I had one large canvas left and wanted to make a splendid masterpiece on it. The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is located in its original place, on the wall of the dining room of the former Dominican convent of Santa Maria Delle Grazie, exactly in the refectory of the convent and is one of the most celebrated and well-known artworks in the world. A huge painting of 4.60 meters high and 8.80 meters wide was made with tempera and oil on a gypsum preparation. Several measures have now been implemented to protect the paint from deterioration. To ensure that the fresco is maintained at room temperature, since the last restoration, visitor's' entry has been restricted to a group of 25 people every 15 minutes. Speaking of this outstanding artwork created by the Master of Art, I was a bit skeptical about going for it. Having been just speculating on whether to go for it or not, I found myself wanting to push the limits. My mind was so full of all these thoughts, that I landed up dreaming about it. I dreamt that I had completed the artwork, and it had turned out magnificent. Waking up the next morning, I could clearly remember the dream from the previous night and hence decided to put brush to canvas. Getting all the characters in place and fitting them in correctly was the biggest challenge - Challenge Accepted. I did it. I wanted this artwork to be in the stained-glass format, as if it had been created into a stained-glass and adorned a church window. I can only just imagine how captivating it would have looked if it was created in stained glass window. I have always been attracted to these colorful depictions of scenes from the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ, so well portrayed in these windows. They are absolutely unique, and I am in awe of the person - Benedict Biskop, who first came up with this absolutely magnificent idea. I am particularly attracted to the fact that since the scene is created using colored glass, it is translucent and when the sun light passes through this colored glass, the scene seems to come to life. It gives each depiction a divine, enchanting and enthralling experience that a true admirer could spend hours just trying to absorb in. I would love my viewers to be able to experience the magic created when sun rays penetrate this depiction of The Last Supper in the stained-glass window format, and hence the bright and bold colors in this artwork.
