“The Wedding at Cana”, a massive painting by the late-Renaissance or Mannerist Italian painter Paolo Veronese, is on display in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, where it is the largest painting in that museum's collection -- at 262in × 390in. The painting depicts a miracle story from the Christian New Testament. The piece was commissioned in 1562 by the Benedictine Monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, and completed in fifteen months. The painting was cut in half for the journey and stitched back together in Paris, as Napoleon plundered and shipped it in 1797.
