The first image is the famous painting,The Last Supper ,which was created by Leonardo Da Vinci in late 15th century. The Last Supper is highly awarded because of its religion meaning and art value.This painting depicts the picture that Jesus had the last supper with his apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion.In addition , Da Vinci painted every characters’ facial expression in detail, he fully revealed every apostle’s thought by depicting their behavior and facial expression. Therefore, most of the viewers can feel that why this joyful supper would disclose weird ambiance.
The second image is an advertisement created by a gambling company. This image also depicts Jesus and his apostles ,but they are not eating supper ,they are gambling. Comparing to the authentic The Last Supper, this reproduction obviously changed its original meaning .It’s a very good example to prove what Berger says in the video that reproductions of painting becoming a “form of information” .In this case , the reproduction painting conveys a message that they are a gambling company with many betting items and everybody can have fun here in an interesting manner.I believe that many people even though they are not gambler would be attracted by this vivid advertisement.Therefore ,I think this advertisement really effective.
This is interesting, but I’m wondering why this company chose this image to advertise their product.
