Possibly…. Players thought he threw 97…. Physicists performed tests and determined he threw 93( not sure how reliable)…. He would be facing better competition now as well.
No possibly to it. I respect your knowledge and opinion but you appear to have a recency bias.

"The Night Watch" by Rembrandt, 1642. Original painting is in a separate room in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

The painting is huge, 142.9" x 172", and takes up an entire wall. The left hand of the man in black appeared to me to be reaching out of the painting when I was there. There must have been 80 to 100 people in the room at the time, and it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.

I’m late to the party on this art discussion and skipped many pages. Also, will admit that I am easily bored by lots (most) of art stuff. But, the viewing experience of Da Vinci’s Last Supper is pretty awesome.

It takes up an entire wall. It was painted using a dry rather than wet fresco technique (may be messing this detail up but it’s something like this). Because of that, the room is completely sealed so no extra moisture can get in. Only a dozen or so people are allowed in for maybe 15-20 minutes at a time. Because of that, it’s not an overcrowded zoo that smells like BO and pasta farts like the Sistine Chapel.

Also, shocker, Jesus has no feet in The Last Supper because some monk a few hundred years ago decided it would be more convenient to have a door than a priceless masterpiece on that wall. Go figure.
