I was amazed there wasn't a compote of art lovers swarming around it like wasps to a beer garden pint. Not only that but there wasn't even a supervisor in the room, making sure I didn't sneeze on it or open a shaken-up can of Vimto all over it. Also, the painting was a lot smaller than I had imagined, perhaps being only A3 size in width. I'd always thought that Leonardo DiCaprio had been the painter of this masterpiece but the artist's name was actually somebody I'd never heard of.
I have to say, all these factors lead me to suspect that this wasn't the actual Last Supper but perhaps some kind of copy. When I returned home I looked the painting up on the internet and was surprised to discover there are indeed many versions of the painting, including one with Gordon Ramsey as Jesus. Could it be true? Ramsey is the second coming? I suppose he did once say, 'I'd like to think I'm a great teacher', but there again he also once said, 'You Fucking Donkey'. It's a hard one to call.
