The picture above is a portion of Veronese's "Wedding Feast at Cana" which can be found hanging in the Louvre. It is inspired by a New Testament story of a wedding feast at which Jesus is a guest. When the hosts run out of wine, Jesus commands the servants to fill the jugs with water which he turns to wine. The full painting contains over 130 figures, some depicting Mary I of England and Suleiman the Magnificent. In those days, artists were often paid by the number of figures they included.
