Leonardo wanted to convey a complex body of knowledge. So he uses the theme of a last supper because it was a perfect vehicle for transmitting that content, which already by the 15th century had been lost. The ‘System of Knowledge’ conveyed in his fresco, The Last Supper, is the zodiac of twelve signs: Christ is the ‘sun’ or the centre of the Solar System and around him are the twelve disciples, the twelve signs of the zodiac.
But there is far more than symbolic imagery and this is where Patriza Norelli – Bachelet (Thea) takes us. She puts special emphasis on the 6th sign, Virgo and the 8th sign, Scorpio, which explain Mary Magdalene’s dual persona as both ‘Virgin’ and ‘Prostitute’.
