This anonymous print, created sometime between 1770 and 1814, depicts two separate scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. The upper portion, "Brylluppet i Kana", shows the miracle of turning water into wine at a wedding feast in Cana. The lower scene shows Jesus healing a man's blindness. Both images utilize a simple yet striking color palette, with a limited range of colors. The artwork is considered an example of religious folk art and showcases a narrative tradition common in the 18th century. The print is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offering a glimpse into the visual culture of its time.
