Cenacolo di Foligno (The last supper a/k/a sleeping at the last supper) by Pietro Perugino
The Last Supper Fresco by Pietro Perugino (b. 1450, Citta della Pieve, d. 1523, Perugia)
According to The Wikipedia, Cenacolo di Foligno, pained in 1493-96 is located in the ex-convent of the Tertiary Franciscans of Foligno, transformed into the "Conservatory of poor and honest girls" in 1980 after the transfer of the nuns. The fresco was rediscovered in 1845 and attributed at first to Raphael, but recent critics have unanimously agreed it was the work of Perugino, dating it between 1493-96. The idea has also been advanced that it was painted over another fresco of the same theme by Neri di Bicci (1419-1491).

Poem: The Painting
By Jack Brummet
He is tired of the dark sun.
He wants to lie down and rest.
No news comes from a far country.
The real estate around him —
A confabulation of blue and red stone —
Chills in an un-harbored sea.
The black sun was pushed, fell, or jumped,
To shine back upon itself.
He knows the sun will never set.
He cannot open his mouth to scream.
The oars will never move.
The island of color
Will always be eight inches away
And the boat
Will always be sinking.
The tattered sails hang in the wind.
The next day refuses to begin.
He clutches that blue banjo
As his ship tilts toward heaven.

Started 1997, finished 2013
The figure you brushed in,
Stuck
under static skies,
Wants off the canvas.
He will not be your Man With Blue Banjo anymore.
He wants to be what he will be,
Not sailing scumbled seas
Under impasto thunderheads.
Wants off the canvas.
He will not be your Man With Blue Banjo anymore.
He wants to be what he will be,
Not sailing scumbled seas
Under impasto thunderheads.
He is tired of the dark sun.
He wants to lie down and rest.
No news comes from a far country.
The real estate around him —
A confabulation of blue and red stone —
Chills in an un-harbored sea.
The black sun was pushed, fell, or jumped,
To shine back upon itself.
He knows the sun will never set.
He cannot open his mouth to scream.
The oars will never move.
The island of color
Will always be eight inches away
And the boat
Will always be sinking.
The tattered sails hang in the wind.
The next day refuses to begin.
He clutches that blue banjo
As his ship tilts toward heaven.

Pablo Picasso's Painting Authentication
By Jack Brummet, Visual Arts Ed.
I heard a good story about Pablo Picasso on the radio today. When an unsigned painting appeared, and resembled his style, Picasso was asked to authenticate and sign it. If he liked the painting, he would sign , whether it was his or not. I'm pretty sure there was a payment involved. I know he often left a quick drawing to cover a bar or restaurant tab. Some of those drawings are now worth more than the restaurant itself.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo's Vertumnus (a 16th century Carmen Miranda)
By Jack Brummet, Painting Ed.
In this painting, The Holy Roman Emperor is painted as Vertumnus, Roman God of the seasons.
According to the Wikipedia, “Giuseppe Arcimboldo (c.1526–1593) was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books”
Carmen Miranda has nothing on the Emperor. . .
