[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

One man gave 26,280 hours of his life into a painting.

The world has spent over 500 years staring at it.

Perhaps, it was a worthy investment.

Think about that.

He completely locked himself into a pursuit of perfection that took three years to finish.

Not a kingdom.

Not a war.

Not even politics.

But a painting known as The Last Supper.

When he finally completed The Last Supper in 1498.

He had no idea that centuries later millions of people would still travel across the world just to stand in front of it.

Which genius wouldn't want such a legacy?

Whooo!!

Here's where it becomes crazier.

The painting isn't hanging in a billionaire's mansion in Monaco or Dubai nor is it sitting in a private collection.

It isn't locked away inside a private vault.

It's painted directly onto a wall of a dining hall in Milan, the Refectory (dining hall) of Santa Maria delle Grazie.

A priceless mural, considered one of the most important artworks in human history.

You'll love Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece of creativity.

@BALL_IQfc @HardRock That's not a bad brand collaboration ahead of the World Cup.

Kudos Messi!!!👏🏾🎉

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

I stan you on this sir.

That's a disaster for every nation with such a high human population.

I can't imagine why a 70-year-old is considered capable of ruling in any Nation.

Why can't they become a political council elder who gives advice and consultation on the affairs and ruling system of the nation to younger leaders?

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

@oku_yungx @Sironyeka Spain and Argentina are two strong contenders to watch out for but I'll be supporting Portugal, France, and Spain.

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

@p16284099 @john322226 We're not far from there.

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

@ABCHRIS50 Either way, you still won't be losing.

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

@ABCHRIS50 No doubt!!

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

That's because their interest isn't about the people but their selfish political gains.

Age should be a limiting factor in politics, as it's one of the major ethical codes of public service.

But greed can't make such a bill be passed.

Obviously, most of the major leaders will be stripped of their positions or deemed unqualified.

And when that happens, no looting or gullibility bank to steal from.

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

If you enjoy the story of Da Vinci's painting.

Kindly share it after reading so more lovers of art can see the power of being dedicated to a Craft.

Leonardo da Vinci
Last Supper, 1498

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

@john322226 He made a masterpiece that spanned over 5 centuries.

A 3-year project that made such a legendary impact.

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

@KalLo_1000 Your bro might have all the modern tools to create that within a few days.

But he needs the charisma of a legendary craftsman to make it last centuries to become a masterpiece like that of Leonardo da Vinci.

[Mr. Raphael @adeaga_raphael]

@EYFDesmond @john322226 Because he doesn't believe in using speed to create a masterpiece.

He prefers studying the art in every dimension even while working on it for perfection and that can only take years of work.
