I've read the website for the group that did the actual presentation said it was a parody but has since been removed. What did you think of Dr Grande's observations?

It was fine, i agree with most of what he says .He points out the Similarity and the Differences... many of those similarities are also valid for the Le Festin des Dieux my isitial comment on this was that it was a bad idea and i stand by that was it meant to be the last supper? i don't actually think so BUT... i can see why people feel that way.
Last supper doesn't have a halo, Feast Does
the central figure in supper is "Jesus" the central figure in feast has the Halo
the last supper has a long table, the feast has a long table
The portrail at the Olympics has more people than the last supper and more people than the feast
The portrail at the Olympics has the central figure wearing blue, Jesus also wore blue in the supper but he also wears red which to me is more prominent then the blue and at the Olympics the central figure wears no red.
The portrail at the Olympics has the central figure using a turntable (instrument) the feast has the central figure with a harp, the supper has no musical instruments
the clothing of most of those at the Olympics does not mimic the last supper except for one person in read to the right. easily coincidence.
If you look at the feast painting the clothing is closer to that painting than the supper.
the white bonnet thing on left looks like it could be for the helmet or the white dove in the feast. there is a child on the left in the feast and a child on the left at the Olympics.
the guy in white on the right at the Olympics repeatedly uses his had in the air with 3 fingers sticking up which also mimics the trident on the right of the feast,
there is a flashy gold person with a Boa of Feathers at the Olympic and a peacock at the feast although the placement is different.
I believe if they were really trying to mimic the last supper they could have done a much better job at it.
