7 - Pete White - Leonardo Da Vinci

In "The Last Supper", da Vinci uses linear perspective to add depth to the room in which the meal takes place. The grid on the ceiling helps the viewer see the depth of the room. In addition, da Vinci uses the "parallel" lines to draw the viewer's eyes to Jesus, who happens to be at the focal point. I think it is very clever that Da Vinci was able to both create space and attention to Jesus with the same technique.
