That is amazing ! Great talent.

Please could I be added? 🙏🏼

I post visual breakdowns of original compositional geometry in Da Vinci’s Last Supper, revealing structure and symbolism not previously documented.

That and book marketing people.
Got so many emails from dodgy accounts proposing me marketing strategies…

That made my day. Thanks for posting

Read the book! It will do you good and you’ll avoid posting nonsense online.

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

And here lies the beauty of it:

💡 The perspective lines are tangent to the Arc of Thomas!

This connection reveals yet another layer of deliberate geometry within the composition, in an elegant alignment between the triangle, the grid, and the perspective itself.

Or so it seems.

In fact, the perspective lines are related to the grid because their slope matches that of the grid's diagonals. In other words, the perspective (in yellow) runs parallel to the diagonals of the grid (in black).

Thomas raises his index finger towards the sky. Could he be giving us a clue ?

As we can see, the angle formed by their hands is strikingly close to the angle of the arc – hence the name I've given it: the Arc of Thomas.

The Arc of Thomas has already provided us with the height of the windows, but it has yet to play another important role.

This means the height of the door and windows are defined twice, leaving little doubt that geometry played a deliberate role in establishing the dimensions of these openings.

🤓 Nerd’s corner: the scientifically inclined among us will easily figure out the height of the openings.

Those who have followed this mini-series from the beginning might think: «But we’ve already defined the height of the window in a previous post!» And they would be absolutely right. Remarkably, both rotations – of the triangle’s side and of its base – meet the grid at precisely the same point.

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).

📐 By placing our compass on M, the rotation of the triangle’s base gives us a mirror image of the arc traced previously. Together, these arcs outline the silhouette of a Gothic arch.

Since this arch touches the pediment at a tangent, it means that a circle must have been used to draw its outer edge

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.

• As the base rotates, the arc first meets one of the vertical grid lines. This intersection aligns precisely with the top of the window opening.
• Higher up, the arc becomes tangent to the decorative pediment.
• The arc intersects with the grid a final time at the height of the cornice.
