Leonardo was very anatomically corect! It's his sketchings of a body and it's organs that's used in medical literature. He was obsessed with the inner workings of the human body, in a very strange way. The exhibit I went to had more work of body parts than he had paintings.

I have found what is he looking at....
seem looking at / want to touch with a Beast / wolf...
can you see?

I dont see what youre looking at, really...

But i did see something else, anyone else notice that their feet look like hooves?

How can you tell this is such a poor quality photo of the original I could let my imagination run wild
Oh I just saw Rosey Odonell upper left look!

Agreed, i can even make skull type faces out on the dark parts of the walls on the left

I can't see anything?

OP - have you left the lid off any solvents in your room?

The hand is kind of obvious now... But is that painted or just a result of paint peeling off?

The "face" on the other hand looks like a mule to me...

..... I dont think so...

Hey there roisu,

I see what you mean and I hadn't noticed it before ... thanks for posting.

We have to remember that back in DaVinci's day (particularly those of an artistic vent) were still thinking with a dominant right-brain (intuition / abstact thinking etc ... as opposed to the left-brain logic that dominates the majority today).

With this in mind DaVinci may simply have been symbolizing the 'as above so below' philosophy. A symbolic representation of light / shadow ... good / bad ... pure / tainted ... heaven / hell and so on.

Alternatively he may have used the hand of Jesus (above table) to represent 'look at what is right in front of you' !

The possibilities are endless and as none of us knew what DaVinci was thinking when he painted the picture (although many art critics claim they do) we can only summise what he may have intended. But you raise a very interesting point nontheless. It's always good to think outside the box otherwise we miss these little gems.

Hello Woody,
When i check this picture, something tell me to see what is their discussion.
on the right hand side...people seem want to know and ask something...one is trying to listen hard...one is asking "look up"? and one has got stock after the answer come from Jesus..??
Jesus is not looking up...and tell "look undertable"
and see the direction of my left hand....??!

After that...the people on the left hand side trying to see what is under table....the older man say " wait wait wait...can not see, where?"
then the one on his right tell him quitely....." it is there" and he's pointing the direction to show him....

when i look at the table upside down, it's look like a ship...after upside down on the left, the table become the head of ship...with a " mascolt " in the front of the ship...tiny one...!? and i can see someone is raising up his left hand...wanna give something or want something from the wolf/ beast..?

the beast is look like the dog head's man from the egypt's wall.
