As per the Bible, Jesus lived a public life for 3 years with his disciples, and mathematically it would mean that Jesus Christ had 1095 suppers ( 365 days * 3= 1095), including his last, that has already been painted by Leonardo Da’ Vinci. The ultimate intention of this series is to create around 1094 paintings i.e. 1094 suppers Jesus had with his disciples in the span of 3 years.
