DAVID, Gerard
(b. cca. 1460, Oudewater, d. 1523, Bruges)
The Marriage at Cana c. 1500 Oil on wood, 100 x 128 cm Musée du Louvre, Paris
In this painting the sitting postures of the women and their enchantingly oval faces are remarkable, and the whole work has great atmosphere and truthfulness. The still-life painting of the festal meal is fascinating.
