In the Museum of Modern Art in Klagenfurt, there is a most interesting photograph in a light box, featuring a take-off on da Vinci's painting of the Last Supper.
The photographer decided to place women instead of men around the table, in the same gestures and postures as da Vinci's work does. There is only one man shown in the photograph in the place where Leonardo's painting features a person with extremely feminine features.
The photographer places his subjects in the same groupings of three persons in four groups, with Jesus as the Centerpoint.

So there it is: a reproduction of the original painting by Leonardo da Vinci and a photograph in a light box, depicting the same (or is it a 'similar') setting, but gender reversed.
