Paolo Veronese

The Wedding at Cana

US$ 690.00

Christ sits at the centre of a marble courtyard while a hundred and thirty guests eat, drink and talk around him, largely unaware of the miracle taking place. Painted for the refectory of San Giorgio Maggiore, it is the largest canvas in the Louvre at almost ten metres wide. Its scale and its density of incident make it a picture built for a long wall.

Artist

Paolo Veronese (1528-1588) filled Venetian walls with vast, crowded, silver-lit banquets full of musicians, dogs, dwarves and servants. Summoned before the Inquisition to explain such figures in a sacred scene, he declined to remove them and simply changed the painting’s title instead. He remained, with Titian and Tintoretto, one of the three painters who defined Venetian art in its greatest century.
