Wow. Some of you Christians are really dumb. You mistook the drag tableau at a table to be a mockery of Da Vinci’s „The Last Supper.“
How could you possibly think that? These are French left-wingers who designed the show. They would never DREAM of mocking Christianity. „You’ll never find in me any kind of wish to mock, to denigrate anything at all. I wanted a ceremony that repairs and reconciles“, said the artistic director Thomas Jolly.
At a Saturday press conference, he said that his choices were not meant “to be subversive, mock or shock.” There was no mention of what the Olympic tableau was supposed to be based on.
That is, until Monday. Suddenly, we learn that it wasn’t based on „The Last Supper“ at all. Silly us. It was based on „The Feast of the Gods“, painted by the artist Jan van Bijlert between 1635 and 1640.
Ce tableau vous rappelle quelque chose ? ????

You stupid right-wing Christians don’t know who Master van Bijert is? He’s an almost famous Dutch painter, and „The Feast of the Gods“ is one of his most important works.
