Summary
[edit]DescriptionMcSarcophagus.CanaJRS.jpg |
English: The Sarcophagus of Marcus Claudianus (ca. 330-335, Palazzo Massimo, Rome): Detail, The Miracle at Cana (John 2:1-11). The figure on the left is Jesus. At his feet are three of the stone jars in the story; in the sarcophagi I have studied it is usual to show three rather than all six. Christ's left hand rests on the head of one of the servants whom he told to fill the jars with water. In his right hand is a wand or rod symbolizing his authority. The woman in the "orant" pose on the right with the veil and outstretched hands could possibly be Mary, the one whose request led to the Cana miracle, but being at the center of the composition (and the only figure in the lower register wearing shoes) it is possible she could represent the Church, praying for the decedent. |
