Show Notes
In 1562, Veronese was commissioned to paint a massive painting of the "Wedding Feast at Cana" to adorn the end wall of the refectory of the Benedictine monastery of San Giorgio in Venice, Italy. What he produced was an extraordinary impression of typical Venetian revelry in the late 16th century with more than 100 figures participating in the great feast.
