El Greco's "Marriage at Cana" from 1600 depicts a chaotic scene of a wedding feast. The figures are elongated and contorted, characteristic of El Greco's unique style, often referred to as Mannerism. The painting, a smaller work measuring 30 x 41 cm, captures the energy and vibrancy of the event, showcasing the artist's masterful use of color and brushstrokes. It's a striking example of El Greco's interpretation of a biblical subject matter, reflecting his artistic genius and the distinctive characteristics of his artistic period.
