The Wedding at Cana (Christ Changes Water to Wine) is a 1578 ink by Léonard Gaultier, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a scene from a story, with a large group of people gathered around a table. The atmosphere appears to be one of celebration, with food and drink being shared among the guests. In the center of the image, a figure is shown performing a miracle, changing water into wine. This moment is the focal point of the scene, and the other figures are reacting to it with a mix of amazement and gratitude. The level of detail in this engraving is impressive, with intricate lines and textures that bring the scene to life. To learn more about this style of art, check out the Renaissance movement.
Léonard Gaultier, or, as he sometimes signed himself, Galter, a French engraver, was born at Mainz about 1561, and died in Paris in 1641.
