Paolo Veronese
Paolo Veronese, known as Veronese (1528 – 1588), was a painter of the Republic of Venice active in Venice and Veneto. Caliari is known in particular for his large-format paintings on religious and mythological themes, such as the Wedding at Cana (1563), the Banquet at the House of Levi (1573) and the Triumph of Venice (1582).
Along with Titian and Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese is one of the great painters who dominated Venetian painting in the 16th century. Known as an excellent colorist, he developed a naturalistic style under the influence of Titian.
His most famous works are elaborate narrative cycles, executed in a dramatic and colorful style, filled with majestic architectural landscapes and lavish details. Particularly famous are his large paintings depicting biblical feasts, replete with figures, which he painted for the refectory of the monasteries of Venice and Verona.
