Norwid and the Wedding of Kana

Thu Jan 20 08:59:17 UTC 2011

Dear colleagues,

does anybody know which  painting - Italian, Flemish, Dutch or other - presenting the biblical Wedding of Kana - contains a baby in a cradle? I ask this question in connection with Cyprian Norwid's "Assunta", where Canto IV, stanza 12, vv. 93-94 runs:

Patrzyla jak te niemowle z kolebki,
Gdzie obchodzono Galilejska-Kane

She looked like that baby from the cradle,
Where the Galilean-Kana was going on

Best wishes,

Rolf Fieguth
