The Marriage Feast at Cana 1675

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s *The Marriage Feast at Cana* (1675) depicts the biblical miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding feast in Cana. This large-scale painting, now at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts in Birmingham, UK, captures the moment of transformation, with Jesus at the center of the scene, surrounded by guests. The artist’s masterful use of light and shadow, along with the detailed portrayal of the figures and their expressions, creates a sense of realism and drama, bringing the biblical story to life. The work is a prime example of Murillo's characteristic Baroque style, known for its emotional intensity and focus on light and composition.
