| Summary: | After introductory presuppositions for researching the biblical reception in the sacral art of medieval Serbia, this paper presents the ways of visual interpretation of Jesus’ first sign in the Gospel of John (2:1–11). The most representative portrayal of the wedding in Cana in Serbian fresco painting, located in the monastery of Kalenic (15th century), was selected as the subject of concrete analysis. The paper shows that the original solutions in Serbian fresco painting may be treated as the outcome of the actualization of the original meanings and not just the result of reliance on influential source models. |
