Eldorado Posted November 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2019 "A 12ft painting of the Last Supper which for a decade has hung behind the altar of a country church will this weekend go on display at a gallery with the addition of a disturbing and depressing mystery: who shot Jesus? "The painting is the work of the celebrated portrait artist Lorna May Wadsworth and has travelled to Sheffield for a retrospective of her work at the Graves Gallery. "When the painting was unpacked, Wadsworth spotted something nobody else had. A hole in the right side of Jesus which has subsequently been confirmed as a bullet hole."

Orphalesion Posted November 12, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Well for one everybody in that painting looks a lot more attractive than Jesus and his deciles likely were :-P And it was obviously Colonel Mustard in the Library. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted November 12, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I don't particularly like the painting, but I do think it's ignorant of someone to deliberately damage it with an air rifle. The artist would have put a lot of work into painting that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one standing seems the central figure? Quote or why they were all leaning so weirdly. "Livin' la vida loca"...a bit too much vino lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows Quick maybe that bullet passed through someone first or was intended to. You know how families are when they get drunk at weddings. jmccr8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd head over and shoot out the hands myself, but it would be too derivative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
