The Real Leonardo

Jesus Decoded -- About Da Vinci

"Along with trashing Christianity, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code is a veritable museum of errors where Renaissance art is concerned. Art historians have been slow in responding, mostly because it is difficult to know where to start. The novelist’s imaginative notions of iconography may make for best-selling fiction, but they are wildly at variance with what is known about the life and work of Leonardo.

The Da Vinci Code denies Leonardo da Vinci’s identity as a Christian artist, working for Christian patrons and painting Christian subjects. Ignoring the sacred nature of Leonardo’s work, Brown twists the images, inserting them into a tawdry tale of his own making."

Jesus Decoded is an answer to the soon to be released movie version of The Da Vinci Code novel. The site includes information about: the television special, the Celibacy of Jesus, Communicating the Gospel in Today’s World, The Divinity of Christ, Gnostic and Other non-New Testament Writings, Mary Magdalene , Women in the Church and more.

The treatment of Da Vinci and the paintings of the Last Suppers is the most interesting aspect of Jesus Decoded for Christians, non-Christians, and art enthusiasts. You can see famous paintings being alluded to at the Web Gallery of Art
