Painted by Paolo Veronese in 1563, this is one of the best examples of large figure paintings and established him as one of the great Venetian artists of the 16th century.

Veronese combined the glowing palette of Titian with the monumental columns of Rome to create a luxurious style of painting decorated with dazzling costumes and color. The painting currently hangs in the Louvre, and due to a recent 3-year restoration program, many of the hues have regained their original brilliance.

The painting is considered Veronese's great masterpiece of Biblical art and one of Cinquecento's most "modern" religious paintings. The huge work (roughly 22 X 32 feet) was commissioned for the refectory in the Benedictine monastery on San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice island. The artist's fee was 324 ducats, board, lodging, and a barrel of wine. Helped by his brother, Benedetto Caliari, Veronese completed the massive painting in fifteen months.

The theme of the painting is based on the Bible story about a marriage held at Cana, Galilee, attended by Mary, Jesus, and his disciples. Towards the end of the wedding feast, as the wine begins to run out, Jesus asks that stone jars be filled with water which he then turns into wine. Unlike most conventional interpretations, Veronese imagined the more modern setting of a typically extravagant Venetian wedding.

The detail in the painting is incredible, but while many figures interact with one another, none are actually speaking. This is to comply with the code of silence observed by all Benedictine monks in the refectory where the painting was to hang. 

The perfect gift for wooden jigsaw puzzlers, this traditional adult wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done repeatedly. Our wooden jigsaw puzzle artists have included many wedding-inspired shaped, whimsy wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces, and we have integrated them in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

Paolo Veronese

Paolo Veronese, born in 1528 in Verona, Italy, was a master of the Venetian Renaissance. His opulent use of color, grand compositions, and theatrical storytelling set him apart from his contemporaries and made him a central figure in the Venetian school. Trained initially under local painters in Verona, Veronese later moved to Venice, where his unique style flourished and earned him widespread acclaim. His early work, with its strong architectural influences and a keen eye for perspective, laid the foundation for his later massive canvases filled with vibrant figures and architectural splendor. His use of luminous colors and refined brushwork further distinguished him, making his style instantly recognizable.

Veronese's most renowned works are his large-scale biblical and historical paintings, including "The Wedding at Cana" and "The Feast in the House of Levi," which display his mastery in orchestrating complex scenes with numerous figures. His ability to capture human expression and drama within lavish settings gave his works an enduring theatricality and grandeur. Though often portraying religious themes, Veronese infused his scenes with a celebratory spirit, elevating them with elements of classical architecture, luxurious garments, and symbolic details. This celebratory spirit in his work can uplift and inspire viewers, making his paintings both spiritually resonant and visually magnificent.

Later in his career, Veronese collaborated with his family workshop and remained highly productive until he died in 1588. His influence extended far beyond his lifetime, inspiring artists of the Baroque period. Today, his paintings, with their enduring appeal, can be found in major museums such as the Louvre, the Prado, and the Uffizi Gallery. Paolo Veronese's legacy is defined by his ability to merge drama, beauty, and architectural finesse into compositions that continue to captivate viewers, their appeal undiminished centuries after creation.
