The Last Score

More appropriately it would be a set of musical notes that are said to have been hidden in Leonardo De Vinci's "The Last Supper." Now I'm not here to convince you that he somehow put the most mind blowing masterpiece of his time in a painting, however, if you look at simply the facts than you may start to wonder....


This is what it looks like. De Vinci was, as we most surely know, a true reconnaissance man and  he dabbled in music, theater, and many other areas he might have not been known for. But even the experts say that the harmony within these notes when played backwards, as it was how De Vinci wrote, is simply too harmonious to be ignored. You be the judge..... listen here

  1. I've heard about this, but never listened to it. Thanks for the link. It seems possible enough to me that it was intentional... It WAS Da Vinci. But, then again, I wouldn't be surprised if people are just reading in things that aren't there.

    Following you. It has a very similar idea to mine. :)

  2. I don't get it. How did he hide musical notes in the painting? I think people look too hard into this kind of stuff honestly.

  6. I'm not convinced. The melodic structure and chord progressions wouldn't have made sense at the time, especially with an open 5th and unisono octave in there for the chords. Chords were not harmonized in this manner, but rather were done with 3rds and 6ths rather than open 4ths and 5ths as was prevalent in the east (Asia). Not only that, the voiceleading is just off, and if anything... the low E would have been a pedal tone, indicating a minor mode or mixolydian since all the notes are being "assumed" to be natural. Odd way of looking at this piece in such discrete character.
