The Da Vinci Code

And

The Last Supper



The Da Vinci Code contains a multitudinous amount of mistakes and here is only one example.

Was Leonardo Da Vinci’s depiction of the Disciple John in his painting of The Last Supper really that "unique" because the figure concerned is depicted beardless and effeminate in nature?

The examples below demonstrate that Leonardo Da Vinci was not the only artist who depicted the Disciple John in such a way within the context of The Last Supper (and it should also be noted that Medieval Christian apocryphal tradition also maintains that the Disciple John was married to Mary Magdalene – as claimed in the Golden Legend of Jacobus de Voraigne, when discussing Mary Magdalene’s "journey to Marseilles", for example).
