"Miracle at Cana" is a painting by Russian artist Vladimir Makovsky, depicting a scene from the Bible. The artwork portrays the moment when Jesus turns water into wine at a wedding in Cana, a village in Galilee. Painted in 1887, the work is an example of Russian Realism, highlighting the dramatic moment with detail and vivid colors. The composition places Jesus front and center, as he performs the miracle, while others in the scene look on in awe and disbelief. Today, "Miracle at Cana" is housed at the Vitebsk Museum of Fine Arts in Belarus.
