EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning detail is taken from the Altarpiece of Transfiguration, a masterpiece created by Bernat Martorell between 1449 and 1452. The altarpiece is located in the Barcelona Cathedral in Spain and is a prime example of International Gothic art. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this vertical tempera on wood piece are truly awe-inspiring. In this particular detail, we see the scene of the Weddings at Cana, as depicted in the New Testament of the Bible. Jesus and his disciples are gathered at a wedding feast when Jesus performs his first miracle, turning water into wine. The feminine figures in the scene are depicted with great care and attention to detail. Their elegant dresses, intricately patterned and adorned with jewels, are a testament to the artist's skill. The women in the scene are engaged in various activities, some serving wine, others dancing, and others simply enjoying the festivities. The vertical composition of the altarpiece is common in Gothic art, as it allows for a sense of height and grandeur. The use of color is also noteworthy, with rich hues of red, blue, and green dominating the scene. The altarpiece as a whole is a visual feast for the eyes, and this detail of the Weddings at Cana is but a small part of its larger narrative. Bernat Martorell's Altarpiece of Transfiguration is a testament to the artistic prowess of the International Gothic period and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art.
