Here it was in ideal harmony, or rather inspired symbiosis, with the composed architecture designed by Palladio for this Refectory. Veronese the painter, Palladio the architect, and André Malraux their poet”. This was how Vittorio Cini complimented André Malraux on his enlightening introduction to “The Secret of the Great Venetians”, a speech given at the Giorgio Cini Foundation on 17 May 1958 to officially open a series of seminars entitled “The Venetian Civilisation of the Baroque Age”.The feeling of loss after Napoleon’s commissars had removed the famous painting is something that can only be fully understood when you are standing in front of the bare wall in the Palladian Refectory, stripped of its masterpiece. Over the last hundred years, that feeling has driven many leading figures in Italian culture from Canova to Branca to attempt to retrieve the “colourist miracle” and place it back in its original setting.Today a previously apparently impossible undertaking has been completed and the “symbiosis” so deeply mourned by Vittorio Cini can finally be admired again. The leading players in this “miracle” are the visionary English artist, Adam Lowe, and his assistants in the Factum Arte workshop. They have made a one-to-one scale facsimile of The Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese, reproducing the harmony of the composition, the detail of the paint and the variety of colours. The result cannot be distinguished with the naked eye from the original in the Louvre. On 11 September 2007 this incredible feat of technology and the imagination will be unveiled to the public, and the inspiring space of the Palladian Refectory will once again be enjoyed in its entirety.The museum of the Louvre played a key role in this remarkable recovery operation. Symbolically, the project completes the large-scale restoration works on the monumental complex on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, begun by Vittorio Cini over fifty years ago. By a nice coincidence, the work will be unveiled in the year of the 30th anniversary of the founder’s death. Our next commitment will be to promote the further development of the island, fully respecting its original vocation. This objective includes the projects for the Branca School, the completion of the large library in the Manica Lunga, the creation of extra exhibition spaces and the construction of a new residence, providing accommodation for students and researchers who will come to the Giorgio Cini Foundation from all over the world to enhance their education. President Giovanni Bazoli 3 San Giorgio Lettera 17 UK 12-07-2007 18:05 Pagina 4 Main Future Activities In her pastels Rosalba takes us to the threshold of interior life. Some of her most emblematic portraits are on show in the exhibition. Her faces are not easily forgotten, such as that of the prelate of Casa Le Blond (Venice, Accademia). He is permeated by a kind of intelligent thoughtfulness, the lips slightly stretched into a bitter twist in a grey-on-grey portrait that is a masterpiece of chromatic sobriety. But Rosalba Carriera 1 September – 28 October also portrayed herself. She did so several times throughout her career and more Exhibition Rosalba “prima pittrice de l’Europa” often than any other Venetian painter. The series of self-portraits form an impressive Venice, Palazzo Cini at San Vio sequence, directly illustrating her development towards a more introspective style, increasingly focused on the face, almost seen in isolation.

  • The Wedding at Cana: John 2:1-11
    The Wedding at Cana: John 2:1-11 1. Why did Jesus make his inaugural sign a miracle which is hidden from any but the disciples? Why make it contingent on Mary’s persistence? If Mary hadn’t made her request and persisted after Jesus’ first reply, would Jesus still have performed this sign which is so central to his message about the end of the ceremonial law and the coming Messianic feast (cf. Isaiah 25)? 2. Mary knew Jesus, and knew to press even after his first response. What is Mary telling us about Jesus? 3. What is the honor-shame dynamic in this passage? Remember that Jesus didn’t just provide an abundance of fine wine, he also made it impossible for the guests to both remain at the wedding and participate in ceremonial cleansing rites.1 4. Several passages lie between the first and second signs. Are these any ways in which the following passages recall or expand on the Wedding? (a) Jesus cleanses the temple (2:13-25); (b) Jesus and Nicodemus (3:1-21); John the Baptist and Jesus (3:22-36); (c) the Samaritan woman (4:1-42). 5. Jesus has warned of hardship for those who follow the Son of Man, who has no place to lay his head (Lk 9:58). At the same time Jesus dined with dozens of outcasts, fed thousands of followers and probably healed as many or more, and here we see him providing more excellent wine than one person could drink in a year. One could easily conclude that if Jesus is able to generously answer our requests, he is very glad to do so.

  • Reconsidering Paolo Veronese's Wedding at Cana
    The Language of the Banquet: Reconsidering Paolo Veronese’s Wedding at Cana Kate H. Hanson British filmmaker Peter Greenaway’s video installation during the 2009 Venice Biennale took Paolo Veronese’s Wedding at Cana (1562- 63) as its subject.1 The installation, based on a digital reproduction of the painting recently placed in its original home of the San Giorgio refectory, used multiple screens as well as digital and audio effects to dissect the work’s formal structures, highlight specific characters in the scene, and create dramatic effects with music and imagined conversations. Greenaway, in line with the scores of admiring artists preceding him, chose to highlight the more worldly aspects of the work: the gossip amongst guests, worries of servants about food supplies, and soaring music. The continued popularity of this sixteenth century painting clearly indicates that Veronese’s work has the ability to speak to viewers in the twenty-first century as well as its original Renaissance audience [Figure 1]. Two years after Paolo Veronese (1528-88) completed the Wedding at Cana for the refectory of the monastery San Giorgio Maggiore, resident monk Benedetto Guidi recorded his admiration for the work in effusive, poetic verse.2 Specifically, he noted that “[a]ll the sculptors come and the painters to admire it three, four, and six times . and PAOLO [sic.] is praised with eternal fame.”3 This poem stands among the earliest of scores of accolades that the Wedding at Cana has garnered and emphasizes the 1 Greenaway’s multimedia installation at the original refectory of San Giorgio Maggiore (now the Fondazione Giorgio Cini) took place June 6-September 13, 2009 as part of the 2009 Venice Biennale.
