    Very good question there is a way to tell and I give you a hint it has to do with color

    John is better looking, and Paul's rather "holier than thou." Or anyone else.

    I think it's supposed to be Paul. Maybe Peter, but most likely Paul. He ought to be a squatty little guy instead of a guy who looks more like a Spanish priest or El Greco's attempt at same but... whatever.

    The overwhelming volume of religious symbols cluttering up the painting in question made me totally-otally miss the fact that he's wearing yellow.

    You nailed it....Paul in most painting wore yellow with some exceptions John was red or orange.Great job.

    Sorry teacher, I though the lesson was old white guy in yellow=Paul.

    Is it possible I've misunderstood?
