The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci is 526 years old, and it's had a rough history.
Monks used to eat breakfast next to it, Napoleon's soldiers turned the room into a stable, and it was bombed during WWII.
And somebody once added a new door that destroyed the feet of Jesus...
Jan van Eyck painted The Arnolfini Portrait 590 years ago, and it has been causing debate ever since.
Does it show a newly married couple? Or something more tragic? Who are the people in the mirror?
This is the story of art's most mysterious portrait...

It’s time to throw a woman into the mix! Let’s take a look at the great Margaret Thatcher.
Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)
Thatcher was born in England her maiden name was Roberts. She studied chemistry at Oxford. During her time there, she was president of The Oxford University Conservative Association. She married Denis Thatcher in 1951 and would go on to have twins.
Her early life revolved around The Second World War and that shaped her views in politics and world affairs. She was elected to parliament in 1959. She became the face of The Conservative Party and was elected Prime Minister in 1979 and served 3 terms until 1990.
Thatcher’s conservative beliefs earned them the nickname “Thatcherism”. Her uncompromising politics and leadership style earned her the nickname “Iron Lady”. She believed in free markets, restrained government spending, tax cuts and was a strict opponent of the welfare state. Her economic beliefs has often been compared to Reaganomics. She was a strong critic of Marxism, communism and socialism and believed they interfered in a functioning free economy.
Thatcher believed morality, family and faith were important and a central part of her life. Her Christian faith led her belief in fighting socialism at home and communism abroad, it was a fight she believed for sovereignty of liberty and individual free will. She believed strongly in personal responsibility and choice. She addressed her faith openly in a 1988 address referred to as “Sermon on the Mound” it was the only time she actively and directly linked her own personal Christian faith with her economic and social policies.
Thatcher’s success like the others we have looked at, is due to common themes of conservative principles and beliefs.
Happy a good Thursday!

The Kiss, painted by Francesco Hayez in 1859, is surely one of the most perfect portrayals of romance in history.
But it also has a hidden political message.
This is the story of The Kiss — and how art can mean more than one thing at once...
