Das letzte Abendmahl Christi in der Kunst

Wenn es wohlfeilen Gratismut in gewissen gesellschaftskritischen Gruppen gibt, dann vor allem gegen das Christentum, welches heutzutage alles geduldig erträgt, während andere Ideologien bei jeder kleinen Zeichnung und / oder Kritik sofort kollektiv auf die Barrikaden gehen, Gewalt bis zum Mord verüben und Stadtviertel in Brand setzen.

Aus der Freiheit, Sicherheit und Ordnung der westlichen Welt und Kultur wird zu wahren Übeln oft geschwiegen und weiter am eigenen Ast gesät, während viele andere in der Welt sich weiterhin ihren diktatorischen, asozialen, Menschen- und Freiheitsfeindlichen Problemen ergeben.

Am Christentum und an der Kunst wird sich häufig ausgelassen:

Das letzte Abendmahl Christi war jüngst auf erniedrigende, beleidigende, groteske und beschmutzende Weise, Opfer dieses Gebarens und das für alle Welt international zur Schau gestellt.

Jene, die sich ständig beleidigt fühlen und eine gewisse Haltung erwarten, was sich selbst angeht, teilen aber eben doch wohlfeil und gratismutig gerne gegen die aus, die sich nicht wehren oder diesen Leuten nach dem Mund reden. Andere lassen sich leicht beleidigen, doch die tatsächlich notwendige Kritik an Systemen, die es notwendiger hätten, fällt eben selten bis gar nicht.

Hier möchten wir daher die Schönheit von Christi Abendmahl in der Kunst der Malerei verschiedener Epochen und Stile feiern.
