Geometry of The Flagellation The diagonal AE of that square passes through the V, vanishing point of perspective. Further, in square ATVK we see that arc KT from A cuts the diagonal at Christ's head, F, halfway up the painting. Thus Christ's head is at the center of the original square ASED.

LAST SUPPER-RESTORED

First to depict acting as real people Greatest ex. Of one point perspective – all lines to Jesus head Looking across the picture from left to right: Bartholomew, James Minor and Andrew form a group of three. All are aghast, Andrew to the point of holding his hands up in a "stop!" gesture. Judas, Peter and John form the next group of three. Judas, you will note, has his face in shadow and is clutching a small bag (of silver?). Peter is visibly angry and a feminine-looking John seems about to swoon.feminine-looking John Christ is the calm in the midst of the storm. Thomas, James Major and Philip are next. Thomas is clearly agitated, James Major stunned and Philip seems to be seeking clarification. Matthew, Thaddeus and Simon comprise the last group of three figures. It appears that, when a situation turns ugly, Simon is the "go to" guy for explanations.

Castagno Architecture has a strangely oppressive effect on the figures B/c perspective was devised before diners painted
