[Sca-cooks] Last Supper in Art

[Johnna Holloway]

I suspect, although I've been incredibly busy and haven't had time to  
pull
all the images and look at what they looked at for their study that a  
case could be
made that there's more food and larger food because the later  
paintings were painted in times
of abundance or reflect the prosperity of well off donors or churches.
Also where these paintings originally placed? Art intended for eye  
level viewing is
often different than art placed high up on walls.

Maybe next week when everything is finally edited, I can take a longer  
look.
I might even dig out the actual book which is here someplace.
