Biblical Wedding is a 1675 oil by Ciro Ferri, a early_baroque_italian work, held at Capitoline Museums.
This painting depicts a scene of three figures in a landscape. The figure on the left is a man dressed in a yellow robe, while the two figures on the right are women, one wearing a red robe and the other a blue robe. The background features trees and a cloudy sky. The figures are arranged in a triangular composition, with the man on the left and the two women on the right. The woman in the blue robe is holding a blue cloth, which adds a pop of color to the scene. The painting is an example of the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume.
