Paolo Veronese

Painters

Paolo Veronese, born Paolo Caliari, was an Italian Renaissance painter who lived from 1528 to 1588 and worked in Venice, known for extremely large history paintings of religion and mythology such as The Wedding at Cana and The Feast in the House of Levi. Alongside Titian and Tintoretto he is considered one of the great trio that dominated Venetian painting of the sixteenth century, prized as a supreme colorist whose naturalist style developed after an early period of Mannerism. His most famous works are elaborate narrative cycles executed in a dramatic and colorful style, full of majestic architectural settings and glittering pageantry, and he was also the leading Venetian painter of ceilings.
