The Venetian Painters of the High Renaissance


The Wedding at Cana,
Paolo Veronese (1562–1563)

The Wedding at Cana, Paolo Veronese (1562–1563)

The artist's decorative genius in The Wedding at Cana was to recognize that dramatic perspective effects would have been tiresome in a living room or chapel, and that the narrative of the picture could best be absorbed as a colorful diversion.
