Object history

Listed as 'The Wedding of St John at the House of the Architriclinus' in the 1505 estate sale of Isabella the Catholic’s possessions in Toro, it did not find a buyer at that time. Acquired along with thirty-one other panels from the collection by Philip I the Handsome during the Toro estate sale, he arranged for it to be sent to his sister, Margaret of Austria, in Mechelen. It was paired with The Temptation of Christ as the upper section of the diptych, which comprised eighteen panels, and was inherited by Charles V from his aunt. The emperor sent it to his wife in Spain, and it remained in the royal collection until the early 19th century, when it likely left during the French invasion. It changed hands several times before being sold along with The Temptation of Christ at Christie's on 23 June 1967 to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson. Since 1982, it has been held at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.

Description

This painting is part of the Polyptych of Isabella I of Castile, which originally consisted of forty-seven small-format panels. It depicts the Wedding at Cana, where Jesus multiplies the fish and turns water into wine. Juan de Flandes' Flemish training is evident in the meticulous detail of the figures' attire.

Locations
* The relative location of dealers, antique shops, art galleries, and collectors leads us to the places where they were based or had one of their main headquarters. However, this does not always indicate that every artwork that passed through their hands was physically located there. In the case of antique dealers and art merchants, their business often extended across multiple territories; sometimes they would purchase items at their origin and send them directly to clients. Similarly, some collectors owned multiple residences, sometimes in different countries, where they housed their collections. It is often difficult to determine exactly where a specific piece was kept during its time in their possession. Consequently, the main location of the dealer or collector is indicated. These factors should be considered when interpreting the map. Refer to the object's history in each case.
