The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci
 
It is known that this famous painting has many hidden meanings.
Some people argue that the woman next to Jesus is Mary Magdelene.
Vatican researcher Sabrina Sforza Galitzia claims to have cracked the mathematical and astrological code contained in the half-moon window above Christ’s head and that it would have some sort of meaning about a “Universal Flood” that might happen in the future.
 
 
Francisco de Goya, Naked Maja (Prado Museum, Madrid)
 
This painting is considered as the sexiest painting of all time.
There are many theories to who is this drawn woman. Some think that it is Manuel de Godoy’s mistress who was the prime minister of Spain during the Peninsular war.  Others believe that it is Maria Del Pilar, the duchess of Alba, known to be beautiful. One of the reason why this women is considered as so "sexy" and beautiful is that the proportions of her body and face are correct. In the Renaissance , painters started to be able to reproduce right proportions on their painting.
 
 
 
Hans Holbein the Younger, The Ambassadors (National Gallery, London)
 
This painting suggests that these two young man are rich and healthy but the weird diagonal blur in the middle at the bottom suggest something else. 
This shape is actually believed to be a skull from a special perspective. The idea of memento mori, which is the reminder of the death was common in Arts but it is unknown why would it be attached to this painting of two French ambassadors in London.
It is believed that this painting was meant to be hung in a stair case so that the passing householder would encounter the hollow-eyed skull as a salutary reminder of death.
