Paolo Veronese was an Italian Renaissance artist who was well known for his brilliant colors and large paintings. He took his name “Veronese” from his birthplace in Verona, however, he lived and practiced his art in Venice, Italy.
Veronese’s beautiful paintings usually focused on history, mythology or religion and he was well accustomed to painting on large surfaces such as ceilings and walls. He also created several altar pieces and portraits. By the end of his life, Veronese’s works of art were highly sought after and his paintings would later inspire some of the greatest artists that came after his time, such as Rubens, Tiepolo, Delacroix, and Renoir.
