The Smurf Supper
"The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci
![[Angel Smurf]](graemlins/Angel_Smurf.gif)
The Last Supper is a late 15th-century mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci. It is one of the world's most famous religious paintings.
The Duke of Milan requested this particular religious scene of Jesus and the Apostles at the Last Supper to be painted by Leonardo.
Leonardo da Vinci began working on "The Last Supper" in 1495 and finished in 1498. This is worth noting, as Leonardo was a known procrastinator with the tendency to leave projects unfinished.
The original mural is on a wall of the refectory (dining hall) in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. Also of note, The Last Supper is a huge mural. It is 15 x 29 feet. It covers an entire large wall!

The Smurfmentation
The Lamentation by Petrus Christus
The Gospel of John (19:33–41) inspired this rendition of the Lamentation, in which both Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus tend to the dead body of Christ. Mary Magdalene and Saint John come to the aid of the swooning Virgin, who collapses in sympathetic response to her son.

The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Smurf
The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp by Rembrandt
Rembrandt painted this group portrait of seven surgeons and the physician Nicolaes Tulp in 1632. The painting is one of a series of group portraits that were made for the board room of the Guild of Surgeons. This painting was occasioned by the anatomy lesson that Tulp gave in January 1632.
The focus is on Tulp, who demonstrates how the muscles of the arm are attached. The corpse’s arm has been laid open for the purpose. The body used for these public autopsies was usually that of a criminal, in this case Adriaen het Kint. The names of the men portrayed in the picture are listed on the piece of paper held by the man at the back.

The Birth of Venus Smurfette
Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli
Venus rises from the sea, looking like a classical statue and floating on a seashell. On Venus' right is Zephyrus, God of Winds, he carries with him the gentle breeze Aura and together they blow the Goddess of Love ashore. The Horae, Goddess of the Seasons, waits to receive Venus and spreads out a flower covered robe in readiness for the Love Goddess' arrival.
