Because Ge's painting was so ambivalently received during a period of interpretation dominated by the school of the "historical Jesus," and because it has itself been a subject of so many artistic commentaries, it has rightfully earned a place as an important modern successor to Leonardo's masterpiece.
In 1862 the Russian painter Nicholas Ge undertook the challenge of repeating Leonardo's conflation of the social and the theological in the post-Romantic age.
As a result, Ge was awarded a full professorship at the Russian Academy of Arts, in lieu of mere membership, which was the customary award (Figure 2: Nikolai Ge, Tainaia vecheria).

The students however were more interested in painting creations that addressed the social issues of the time rather than focusing on the past.
