A scene depicting the Greek god Dionysus drew criticism for allegedly mocking Leonardo da Vinci's painting " The Last Supper " Several religious groups and public figures spoke out after the performance.

A spokesperson for the 2024 Paris Olympics said it was “never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group” Several performers have since been subject to online hate.

The scene was meant to depict Dionysus , the god of wine and feasts, who is also the father of Sequana , goddess of the Seine River .

Art historians pointed out the scene was inspired by a 17th century painting of the Greek Olympian gods.

The Musée Magnin in Dijon , France , has the painting in its collection.
