Biography (539 words) |
 | Paolo Veronese was an Italian Renaissance painter; one of the great masters of the Venetian school. |
| Veronese combined these elements of the local High Renaissance style with Mannerist elements, including complex compositional schemes that often employ a “worm's-eye view” perspective and Michelangelesque figures in powerful foreshortened or contorted poses. |
| Veronese's growing interest in scenographic architecture, inspired partly by the real architecture of such contemporaries as Palladio and partly by contemporary stage settings, is spectacularly evident in the vast Marriage at Cana (1562-63, Louvre, Paris), virtually a cityscape with incidental figures. |
