“Bruiloft te Kana” (Wedding at Cana) is a 1594 engraving by M. Preyss depicting the biblical event of Jesus turning water into wine. The scene is detailed, showing the wedding guests seated at a lavish banquet table with musicians playing in the foreground. Jesus is positioned centrally, performing the miracle as a man pours water from a large barrel into a pitcher. Preyss's rendering of this popular biblical event provides a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the late 16th century.
