From The Geometry of the Last Supper by Raphaël Mouterde. It shows the triangle on the grid and the arc created by the rotation of the side of the triangle to the vertical. The main perspective line suggested by the top of the tapestries has the same slope than the diagonal of the grid and is tangent to the arc.

🤓 Nerd’s corner: for the truly dedicated geometry fans... what is the height of the vanishing point B?

‘Her time has come’: did Mondrian owe his success to a cross-dressing lesbian artist who lived in a Cornish cove? Piet Mondrian found fame, fortune and glory with his grid-like paintings filled with basic colours. But did many of his ideas come from Marlow Moss? Our writer celebrates an extraordinary British tale...

Interesting!

From The Geometry of the Last Supper by Raphaël Mouterde. It shows the triangle on the grid and the arcs created by both rotations of the triangle's base. The outer edge of the pediment is given by the circle of radius 1 (module of the grid) coming into contact with the arcs at a tangent.

So the question is: what is the radius of that circle?

💡 The first intuition is the correct one: the pediment is defined by a circle of radius 1 (one module of the grid = 1).

This is quite remarkable: in a single movement, our compass reveals three major clues, each one bringing us closer to understanding the underlying harmony of this extraordinary composition.

It is also possible to explain the position of the perspective lines suggested by the tapestries! And much more...

To the far left, James the Minor, dressed in pink and part of the first group of apostles, reaches out to touch Peter’s shoulder, trying to draw his attention. His palm faces downward, almost flat, with the back of his hand positioned precisely at the level of the median.

This leaves two units in the centre occupied by Jesus alone, giving rise to a sense of authority and calm amid the chaos around him.

The grid, however, does more than define the space as it also governs the distribution of the apostles along the table.

Can you see how?

Eine nackte, schlanke Frau mit heller Haut und langen, dunklen Haaren steht barfuß auf einem Dach in New York City. Sie posiert aufrecht zwischen stählernen Streben eines Baugerüsts, die ein X über ihrem Körper bilden. Ihr linker Arm ist nach oben gestreckt, der rechte berührt eine Metallstrebe. Ihr Blick ist direkt, die Haare wehen leicht im Wind. Der Körper ist frontal gezeigt: kleine Brüste, schmale Taille, zarte Hüften. Der Unterleib ist sichtbar, mit natürlicher, getrimmter Schambehaarung. Die Fotografie ist in Schwarz-Weiß gehalten und hebt den Kontrast zwischen Haut, Metall und der urbanen Skyline unter wolkigem Himmel hervor.

Verloren im Wind –
Stahl küsst Haut im Sommerlicht,
Stille auf dem Dach.

Here is a close up of the vanishing point in the Last Supper.

Where would you say it falls: on the ear of Jesus?

Did you know that in the Last Supper, the corners of the windows are inscribed within the ray of perspective suggested by the tapestries?

How much does this elegant design touch us, I wonder...

Famously, there aren’t any tiles on the floor of the Last supper. The powerful illusion of perspective relies predominantly on the four tapestries hanging on either side and the coffered ceiling.
