Leonardo's Last Supper

Question

When you look at the 'Last Supper' painted by Leonardo Da Vinci, do you see John the Evangelist to Jesus' right hand or, as Dan Brown claims, Mary Magdalene?

Answer 1

I thnk he was trying to show that women were as important in the Kingdom as men were.  Maybe John the Baptist and MM were twins?

Answer 2

I suppose it is open to your interpretation of the mural.  I see Mary now that Dan Brown pointed it out but before that I never really saw any females there.  I think it is heartwarming to think she was there.  

Answer 3

when i look at that painting, i think "how the heck did he get everyone on the one side of the table for the picture?" that was a pretty rough and tumble bunch y'know

Answer 4

I see a man in this painting. He's effeminate maybe, but this is just a painting of Da Vinci's interpretation of the last supper, not an actual eye witness account of the last supper. I don't understand why people say if Da Vinci painted it then Mary Magdalene must have been there at the last supper or she & Jesus must have been together as a couple. It's Da Vinci's painting, whether he painted John or Mary next to Jesus really doesn't mean that it actually took place in Jesus day. Da Vinci was a genius! But he wasn't an apostle! (Not that YOU are saying it's Mary, It's just a popular belief now that I just don't understand???)
