Paolo Veronese

Paolo Veronese was a Venetian master known for his vibrant, vivacious, and voluptuous style. Think of him as "Veronese the Vivacious!"

His key characteristics include:

• Brilliant color: He used rich, saturated pigments, especially blues and golds, to create a sense of opulence.
• Theatrical compositions: Grand, sprawling scenes filled with figures in elaborate costumes, often with a shallow stage-like space.
• Love of detail: Intricate details in fabrics, architecture, and jewelry, emphasizing the wealth and splendor of Venice.
• Worldly and secular themes: While he painted religious subjects, he often infused them with scenes of daily life, turning biblical stories into lavish Venetian feasts.
