Today we bring a mural of the Last Supper, whose author is Curro Leyton. The painting is embodied on the exterior wall located to the south of the San José Church, on Madrid street (Estepona). The work was discovered while it was being carried out. We went 48 hours later to meet the author, but the realization was finished.
The artist has recreated -with a different perspective- the incomparable work of Leonardo da Vinci, on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death, as evidenced by a commemorative plaque. The original creation that he made was inspired by the Gospel of John, in its chapter 13, verses from 21 to 30, since Mark, 14, Luke, 22 and Matthew, 26, differ in their narratives.
The scene depicted is based on the exact moment when Jesus announces: "Truly, truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me" 22 The disciples looked at each other, not knowing who he was talking about. 23 One of his disciples, the one Jesus loved, was at table next to Jesus. 24 Simon Peter makes a sign to him and says, "Ask him who he is talking about." (Jn, 21-24). (From our position on the left side).
"The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci, is one of the most emblematic works in the history of art, created between the years 1495-49, it is very deteriorated by conserving only 20% of the original painting. We currently know that a copy was made on it located in the Tongerlo abbey (Belgium), an hour from Antwerp, presenting an extraordinary conservation; In addition, it is believed that it was made in 1507 by a student of Leonardo, it helps us to understand the original conception.
