Veronese (Paolo Caliari)

Why this artist matters now

Paolo Caliari, known as Veronese, painted monumental history compositions in oil that established him as a supreme colorist of the Venetian Renaissance. Working alongside Titian and Tintoretto, he created vast canvases of religious and mythological narratives, including The Wedding at Cana and The Feast in the House of Levi, characterized by luminous color harmonies and densely populated scenes. After an early engagement with Mannerism, Veronese developed a naturalist approach influenced by Titian, defining Venetian painting of the sixteenth century.
