Christ, I Presume?

The painting I picked to blog on is the last one. I believe it has a religious connotation and the man that is the focus point is Jesus. This assumption is due to the style, which pertains to an era where most paintings were religious in nature and the portrayal of the man, which is the way in which Jesus is generally portrayed. I believe the scene being dipicted here is "Las Bodas de Canaa" (I don't know how to say this in english) where Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding at the behest of his mother, Mary. The lesson this scene is used to teach is that Christ has saved the best wine for last, which means Christians will be rewarded at the end of a good life. I believe it is this scene because the food on the table and all the people and the sleepy possible enebriated man all support a party. The artist has used composition in way that he makes Jesus the main focal point, even with all the chaos around him, and juxtaposes his wise calm with the party-goer's frantic ridiculousness and lack of self-control. Jesus is the focal point not only because he has deliberately been placed prominently in the center of the painting but also his shirt has the lightest color, so it draws our eyes. The artist has also balance both sides of the image by dressing the men at either end in similar colors. The artist has also painted the things below the table as small and not very eye catching so one will see them later as details and not be distracted by them when one first sees the image.
