Chiesa Santa Maria Degli Angioli (Church of Saint Mary of the Angels) from Lugano is a wonderful Renaissance church of Romanesque style.
The church was painted in 1529 by Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82 –1532), a North Italian painter from Leonardo's circle.
Here is huge fresco painted by Luini on the wall that is separating the two parts of the church (which is - according to the website of Lugano Tourism- the most famous one in Switzerland) ; but more fascinating, on the side south side wall of the Chiesa Santa Maria Degli Angioli is Luini's version of the „Last Supper”’.
This one is divided into three panels because it had originally been on a wall of the monastery rectory with support pillars, moved to where it is now seen when the monastery.
Luini’s version of this event is so like Leonardo DaVinci’s more famous one in Milan that it was once attributed to him, according to „TravelEurope” site. There is little historical connection between the two artists but it is thought that Luini was a disciple of the master or at least greatly influenced in his later work by him.
Luini’s "Last Supper" may have been an homage, a coded response or even a parody. Luini painted himself as Judas Iscariot holding a bag on coins and his own favorite pet cat at his feet.
A close look at the figure of the Apostle John, at the right hand of Christ will bring sharply to mind Dan Brown's “The DaVinci Code” whose entire plot is based on the idea that DaVinci had symbolically painted Mary Magdalene into his last supper in the guise of the John the Apostle.
Luini’s John is also feminine in the extreme, so like Luini’s other female subjects, painted with eyes nearly closed, as if in supplicant devotion, but Luini’s John the Apostle, rather than facing away in DaVinci’s now infamous “M”, is leaning tenderly on Jesus.

Old code line poles still stand at North Milwaukee Yard, where the last stub remnant of Milwaukee Road's "Beer Line" branches off to serve an oil dealer.
The memorial at Window Rock, Arizona commemorates the role of Navajo Code Talkers in the South Pacific during World War II. A deeply moving place.
Well, I'm proud to announce that the code is about 1000 lines of PHP, CSS and HTML today and it still needs to grow more and more.
I'm glad of my progress with the website and you should see the progress with the core--we have so many amazing things in the works.
PS: I still need to put the AJAX stuff.
the shot at hand: inspired by Ryan the one, the only....always pimp!
this is a regular family outing for the O'Connor family on any given saturday night...it started with "i've got a shot stuck in my head, who wants to help?"
my boy...first hand up!! and can i bring a friend....well only if said friend asks a parent because first, it's illegal and second, there is a small element of danger and third, it's illegal!!
so we're off....to a trespass into Holmes Foundry....hubby is never keen to trespass...what if we get caught, then what...and as always, i assure him that the cops have better things to do than to chase a family around in an abandoned place when all they're doing is taking pictures!!
the image above, truly a joint venture...included the following technicalities:
*the pose - strategically placed by me
*the subjects - 2 boys told to stay very still for 25 secs. (no easy task)
*handheld flashlight - me again to light the graffiti
*red gel flash - courtesy of hubby moving around the scene flashing on command
my son's friend, who had never done anything like this thought this was the best ever outing so the boys were paid with a late dinner out....we got home by midnight!!
isn't this a normal outing?
so now.....tell me what the rest of you do on any regular night out????
