Paolo Veronese, an Italian Renaissance painter from Venice, is celebrated for his large history paintings depicting religion and mythology. Together with Titian and Tintoretto, he comprised the influential “great trio” that defined Venetian art in the 16th century. Veronese’s mastery of vibrant colors and a naturalistic approach, inspired by Titian, is evident in his grand narrative cycles, particularly in his depictions of biblical feasts created for monasteries. While some critics have noted a lack of depth in his work, his bold and colorful style has garnered admiration from renowned artists such as Rubens, Watteau, and Renoir.
