@nathanielwarongan5892 CBS News correspondent Elaine Cobbe reports, the specific part of the ceremony that caused the offense was, in fact, a scene depicting Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. It was reportedly based on The Feast of the Gods, a 17th century painting by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz van Biljert that hangs in the Magnin Museum, in Dijon, eastern France.
NY Times, The tableaux drew condemnation among people who saw the images as a parody of “The Last Supper,” the New Testament scene depicted in da Vinci’s painting by the same name. Mr. Jolly said on Sunday that he had not been inspired by “The Last Supper.” “It is Dionysus who arrives at the table,” Mr. Jolly said in a television interview with the French media outlet BFMTV.
MSN, The performance featuring Dionysus was one of many highlights of the opening ceremony to this year's summer Olympics taking place Friday on and along the Seine.
The tableau, which was broadcast during the ceremony, included a woman wearing a silver, halo-like crown at the center of a long table flanked by drag queens. The scene is promptly disrupted when a nearly naked man painted blue emerges from a dinner plate surrounded by fruit.
