In the Louvre in Paris, there hangs a painting by fifteenth-century Dutch artist Gerard David titled The Marriage at Cana. In Rotterdam, another fifteenth-century Dutch artist, Hieronymus Bosch, has one of his pictures on display: Marriage Feast at Cana. Both works depict the first miracle Jesus performed. What is interesting about these visual representations is that all the characters are dressed in the typical garb of fifteenth-century Europe, sitting at table appointed with the plates and utensils common of the Renaissance period.
