The thoroughly modern installation is based on a 16th-century painting. Wedding at Cana, Paolo Veronese's huge painting, was made specifically for San Giorgio's convent in 1562, but was looted by Napoleon's army in 1797.

It is not merely an imitation, but a clone realised with very advanced techniques developed by the Factum Arte workshop.
