Off topic (Art History)

I haven't had much time for unrequired reading now that Spring Semester has started. I'm doing a short paper for Art History comparing and contrasting two works of art from the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper which hangs in the Refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan and Tintoretto's The Last Supper which hangs near the altar of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. While Leonardo's is much more well known (and associated with kitsch) I like Tinteretto's version much better and it is Tinteretto's that I'll be thinking about on Maundy Thursday.
