Trivia Pur$uit

Salvador Dali's wife was the model for the Christ figure in the Spanish surrealist's 1955 oil painting `The Sacrament of the Last Supper'. The painting now hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

  1. I was intrigued by this one, so I went on a hunt.

    Follow this link for an interesting comparison. The inset is a cropped piece from the painting.

    You can make up your own mind!

  2. Nice work, Detective-Sergeant Fletcher.

    Take a pay rise and a promotion.

    Seriously, though, that was good scouting.

    What a 'giveaway'!!
