Last Supper Has Grown Over 1,000 Years
“We took the 52 most famous paintings of the Last Supper (from the book Last Supper) and analyzed the size of the entrees, bread and plates, relative to the average size of the average head in the painting,” said food researcher Brian Wansink of Cornell. The size of the entrees in paintings of the Last Supper, which according to the New Testament occurred during a Passover evening, has progressively grown 69 percent; plate size has increased 66 percent and bread size by about 23 percent, over the past 1,000 years.
