About Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari)

1528–1588Republic of Venice

Veronese was one of the three most influential painters of the Venetian late Renaissance, with Titian and Tintoretto. He is known as a supreme colorist and for his illusionistic decorations in both fresco and oil, famed for biblical feasts executed for the refectories, altarpieces, history and mythological paintings and portraits. He headed a family workshop that remained active after his death.
