These 9 Delftware examples depict episodes of food consumption or preparation from both the Old and New Testament, including the Wedding at Cana (bottom row, middle), when Christ turned water into wine to demonstrate God’s mercy, and The Temptation of Christ (bottom row, right) when Christ, famished after 40 days of fasting, refused Satan’s temptation to turn stones into bread. Each scene includes the relevant Biblical verse, so these tiles were instructive as well as decorative, teaching the viewer about good and bad food choices, which would have been particularly relevant in kitchens or dining rooms.referenceterm-106400adlib-term-1064003e80c102-1483-3c39-b2f4-67e333d653d818th Centuryreferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareDepthcm0.8Heightcm12.6Widthcm12.1referencemedia-12674adlib-media-12674bb5697a4-69cf-3dfb-bcca-c5a7d6818a01jpegaa/aa12/C_2804_20_1928.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162748632291imagejpegaa/aa12/mid_C_2804_20_1928.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50016162748632291imagejpegaa/aa12/C_2804_20_1928.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162748632291imagejpegaa/aa12/preview_C_2804_20_1928.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162748632291image0media
