The Wedding Feast of Cana is the largest painting of the Musée du Louvre, measuring a massive 7 x 10m.
It's considered a masterpiece of Renaissance painting.
It was commissioned by the San Giorgio Maggiore Convent in Venice.
It represents the Biblical episode of Jesus transforming water into wine, when wine ran out at a wedding.
Jesus is represented at the centre, while the bride and groom are relegated to the bottom left corner.
Veronese represented more than 130 guests, cheekily mixing some guests from the Renaissance (such as rivals French King Francis I and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V) and some from the Bible (such as Jesus, Mary and the Apostles).
He also sneaked himself in, as the musician in white!
The painting is also loved for its many details - see if you can spot the woman with a toothpick, the ogling husband, the jealous wife, and the playful cats and dogs for example!
Also, did you notice that none of the guests are talking?
This is because the painting was meant to be hung in the dining hall - where none of the monks were allowed to speak!
