This gentleman is a construction worker who was involved in demolishing a local church in Manhattan. The Last Supper was headed to the trash heap when he grabbed it and firmly decided to take it home with him to place there. He was very friendly and obliged me with allowing me to take this photo. I commended him upon his decision to save this precious item.

I am glad that this person regards symbols of religious events remains sacred to him/them.
I believe many people have lost their "moral compass" today.
You have restored that at least for this post Steve!
Extremely well taken!

Deja vu here Steve!
I was out shooting in a local cemetery today and there was a headstone that had a color "mural" of the Last Supper embedded in it.
Got a shot..

Love the juxtapositions in this image Steve. He’s got what looks like a gaming headset on and he’s in work pants + all the ambiance of the metro car surrounding the painting which is way out of its normal context.
Appreciate your comments Mike. An amazing coincidence, my wife and I own four paintings by C. Bosseron Chambers. He is known for his religious paintings, but the ones we have are secular works.
I love these alignments or coincidences. 6 years after I left NYC I was working on a project I was managing in Aspen and I got to tour a previously finished, furnished home. The owner happened to be there but it’s rare that they will meet with tradespeople. Checking out our work in the great room I asked the house / site manager (who lived in a smaller house on the property with his family) if the large painting was a Haring (I knew it was, it had to be…) - he didn’t know, so he went to find the owner. She was great, and excited to talk art - she gave me a tour of the full house then - Haring, Warhol, lots of photography that I didn’t know, Lichtenstein, and I’d swear a some Pollock ‘sketches’ or tests. Between the upper stair and bedroom was a piece that looked familiar - I asked if it was by a certain pair of artists ‘How do you know them?!!!!!’ - it was the artists I worked for when I lived in the city… circling back with the artists when I returned home they replied that they used to sell the family a piece every year… until the family got into horses… and when they asked ‘which house were you at?’ - they knew which piece it was.

Sorry so late in getting this posted Steve. I took the image Tuesday. All I will say "I had Adobe ACR problems and a Tech who could NOT understand logic.
This is purely a coincidence about "postings" of the "Last Supper". Both are different except for the "title".
If you notice some "wonky" exposure color, it was "selectively colored and then some". Right leaning? Yes.. I had a reason.
