Garden Of Eden, Garden Of Gethsemane & The Last
Supper : 10 pages in length. No greater contrarieties could
exist than between the Garden of Eden and the Garden of
Gethsemane; their drastic differences were as vast as the
day is long. Where one represented peace and tranquility,
the other symbolized sadness, torture and the depths of
despair. There is much controversy and mystery
surrounding da Vinci's painting, The Last Supper,
depending upon which account one believes -- the biblical
version or the contemporary version. Even within the
biblical version, however, there exists varying accounts of
what took place in da Vinci's masterpiece. The writer
compares and contrasts the differences between the
Gardens, briefly accounts for the fall of Adam and Eve,
discusses the various interpretations of The Last Supper,
and also includes a bit about the history behind the artist's
rendering. Bibliography lists 11 sources. GrdnEden.wps
