Hidden Image Exposed in The Last Supper Painting?

Not sure if this is genuine but the imagery is startling, could be typical of Leonardo to leave hidden clues, the commentator say anyone can reproduce this inverted image with any Last supper reproduction but it is unclear how. In any case I thought its worth sharing here.

This is the first time I visited this site, poked around a a bit and it does have a tabloid flavor

Well Dahboo seven did the video so don't know what to say. He has a channel on youtube where he does all sorts of videos. Most are sensationalist.

As to the validity of his work, well what I will say is that you shouldn't take what he says or does at face value. His style is what I'd like to call, "spray and pray" i.e. he'll hit some stuff but miss completely on other points. The tough part is figuring out what are the hits and what are the misses. I don't think he even knows but in my opinion he's an interesting guy to keep tabs on for the mere fact he'll alert you to certain things that might otherwise evade your attention.

Regarding the painting of the last supper, well if it's true that it appears as such when split and mirrored down the middle, all I can say is that it is interesting. I have no idea what it could mean.

I don't know if it is meaningful. When you mirror and combine images, you obtain symmetric patterns that can be interpreted subjectively. It is like those ink drawings used by psychologists, random patterns that can be viewed as faces, butterflies, dragons etc.

As an example, I did the same to a very famous painting and the result is interresting (funny):


Edit: Another example with another famous painting (creepy this time)

I love it! Amazing how La Gioconda's smile seems more genuine when symmetrical. Nothing "sinister" there (ie left-handed, lol)

Yup, nothing so special about it because, as mkrnhr says, it's like an inkblot. You spill ink on one half of a piece of paper and then fold it and it duplicates the image and then when you look at it, you can sometimes perceive unintentional imagery.

Plus, the details the guy points out are unlikely to have obtained with the original painting. Most of those 'pixels' are the result of paint chipping, it seems to me!

Seeing faces in various patterns/objects seems to be one of the most common forms of a broader subject called Pareidolia.

wikipedia said:

Pareidolia (/pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-doh-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant, a form of apophenia. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse.

And this about seeing faces in particular:

wikipedia said:

A 2009 magnetoencephalography study found that objects incidentally perceived as faces evoke an early (165 ms) activation in the ventral fusiform cortex, at a time and location similar to that evoked by faces, whereas other common objects do not evoke such activation. This activation is similar to a slightly earlier peak at 130 ms seen for images of real faces. The authors suggest that face perception evoked by face-like objects is a relatively early process, and not a late cognitive reinterpretation phenomenon

I recall seeing other studies that suggest we are somewhat "hard-wired" to recognize face-like patterns.

Look at the guy at the far left with the green robe, right below his right elbow in the robe is a face. I cannot see this as a coincidence, it was intentional.

Considering that much of what you are seeing is due to paint flaking and deterioration of the painting, I think it is a bit of seeing patterns in things that aren't really there.
