    BASSANO 11 A SECOND MIRACLE AT CANA: RECENT MUSICAL DISCOVERIES IN VERONESE'S WEDDING FEAST Peter Bossano 1.And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2. And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4. Jesus saith unto her, Woman what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10.And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worst; but thou hast kept the good wine until now. —John 2: 1-10 (KingJames Version) In Paolo Veronese's painting of the Wedding Feast at Cana, as in St. John's version of this story, not everything is as at seems.

The Pastoral Concert - Once considered Giorgione – now considered Titian – though some have considered as by both (Louvre). • Portraits - Royal and Papal commissions late in career • Cabinet Pictures • Religious art • Allegorical / Classical Isabella d’Este “La Bella” • Lead the movement to having large pictures for architectural locations on canvas rather than Fresco – which lasted poorly in Venice’s damp climate • Sought to displace his teacher Bellini as official state painter – declined, but achieved on B’s death. • Married housekeeper by whom he already has two children • Wife dies young in childbirth – a daughter modelled for him for his group pictures • Does not remarry – described as flirting with women but not interested in relationships • Ran a large studio – El Greco was one pupil • Of his most successful pictures many copies were made in the studio Penitent Mary Madelene Two of many versions Christ Carrying the Cross.
