Beyond The Table - The Mystery of Women's Absence in "The Last Supper" - Deep Dive

Join our Deep Dive podcast, where we unravel the enduring mystery of why women are notably absent from Leonardo da Vinci's iconic painting, "The Last Supper." 

Join us as we investigate the historical context of biblical accounts and 1st-century Jewish societal norms that may have influenced this artistic choice, alongside the Renaissance conventions that shaped da Vinci's work.

We’ll delve into da Vinci's artistic decisions and explore various theological interpretations that reinforce the male-centric depiction of this pivotal moment in Christian history. 

Additionally, we’ll discuss controversial theories, including the Mary Magdalene hypothesis, and examine the challenges posed by feminist art historians who seek to address this exclusion.

Through our exploration, we’ll highlight the lasting impact of women’s absence in this masterpiece on art, history, and theology, encouraging reflection and ongoing conversation about the complex layers embedded within "The Last Supper." Tune in for a thought-provoking journey into the intersections of art, gender, and cultural narratives!
