The Last Supper.

Christian religious paintings are - of course -
travesties of reality.  Not even 'art'.
There aren't many 'representations' of The Last Supper,
but they all feature a table and chairs -
European inventions to keep people off filthy
and sometimes muddy mediæval floors.
Jesus and his buddies would - of course -
have eaten like the Palestinian poor eat today
and not like the Jews of modern Israel.

Byzantine painting, church of San Giorgio, Venice.
