The Wedding at Cana by Peter Greenaway (UK)

A következőkben Peter Greenaway 50 perces "live" művének zanzásított változatát láthatjátok, melyet Az olasz festő, Veronese Kánai mennyegző című festménye alapján készített és a kép hajdani eredeti helyén, San Giorgio Maggiore szigeten vetített.

Multimedia performance by Peter Greenaway

" Subtitled “A Vision by Peter Greenaway,” this 50-minute digital extravaganza of light, sound, theatrical illusion and formal dissection is being projected onto and around a full-scale replica of “The Wedding at Cana,” Paolo Veronese’s immense and revered landmark of Western painting.
The replica is a wonder of digital reproduction itself. It covers the great rear wall of the Benedictine refectory on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, exactly where the original hung from 1562, when Veronese finished it, until 1797. That’s when Napoleon had it taken down, cut up and carted back to Paris as war booty. It was sent to the Louvre, where its mastery of light and color entranced French painters and influenced the development of Impressionism. "
