Latest comment: 4 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The information abou being inspired by the last supper and being controversial was just recently added in view of the olympic games scandal. However, the reference from were it was supposedly taken does not mention such information. 177.227.62.56 (talk) 04:46, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

This edit request to Le Festin des Dieux has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The painting is believed to be heavily inspired by Leonardo DaVinci’s 1495 “The Last Supper” painting, which caused it (and many others) to be banished from temples in the Netherlands due to its appearance and domination of Protestantism, "putting an end to the religious painting. As such, it seems that this painting hides within it a Christian scene of the Last Supper.^[1]".

"Des peintres d’Utrecht, un temps versés dans le caravagisme, les Magnin ont retenu Van Bijlert, dont Le Festin des dieux mêle de façon troublante l’iconographie mythologique à celle de la Cène."^[2]

A recent example of this belief is discussed with historian Auke Hoekstra "However, he acknowledged that there are definitely some resemblances because the whole concept was apparently inspired by the Last Supper, created in 1495.^[3]" .

In obvious resemblances, the concept translated its sacred form to a pagan dialogue of many Gods, right after Jan van Bijlert himself had become a member of Utrecht Guild of Saint Luke and the Reformed church in 1630. It was at an era of transformation consequent to early years of works of art, artisans and material being chosen and brought exclusively by appointed archbishops of its town.

Van balen, Bruegel, Homere, Bellini and Titien, Ruben, Sanzio, Romano and many other painters of its era have created their own version of "Festin des Dieux" with their personal vision. Elenapostol (talk) 15:07, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. —Sirdog (talk) 01:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I feel it’s very informative and believe this information is necessary to better understand the history of the artwork and the artist. 170.103.117.144 (talk) 20:20, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
