This drawing, “The Wedding Feast at Cana (after Paolo Veronese)” by Federico Zuccaro, is a brown ink study on blue paper that depicts a scene from the Bible. The composition depicts a lavish banquet with numerous figures interacting in a lively, dramatic setting. It is a study after a painting by Paolo Veronese, a prominent artist of the Venetian Renaissance, showcasing Zuccaro's understanding of Veronese's style and his own skill in capturing the movement and grandeur of the original work. The drawing is a testament to the influence of Veronese on Zuccaro's art.
