Delphi Complete Paintings of Paolo Veronese (Illustrated)
One of the principle painters of the sixteenth century Venetian school, Paolo Veronese produced monumental works, portraying allegorical, biblical and historical subjects in splendid colour, set against the backdrop of Renaissance architecture. A master of colour, Veronese also excelled at illusionary compositions that extend the eye beyond the actual confines of the room. After an early period of Mannerism, he developed a naturalist style of painting, which was influenced by Titian and would go on to inspire the masters of the Baroque and later eras. His works are celebrated for their chromatic brilliance, sensibility of brushwork, aristocratic elegance and the sheer magnificence of spectac...
Lives of Veronese
Collected here for the first time, these fascinating early biographies, two of which have never been translated before, describe and celebrate the astonishingly fertile art of Paolo Veronese. Most of what we know about Veronese comes from these three writings, and the Life by Carlo Ridolfi broke new ground in its scope and ambition. Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), a highly successful Florentine painter, contemporary and friend of Michelangelo, and pioneer collector of drawings, compiled the Lives of the Most Famous Painters, Sculptors and Architects, which remains the greatest single work on the art of the Italian renaissance. Raffaele Borghini (1537-1588), another Florentine artist and theorist of art, expanded on Vasari’s biography. Carlo Ridolfi (1594-1658), a Venetian, was also a painter but achieved greater fame as a chronicler of the art of Venice. More consciously literary than Vasari, he also was more scholarly in his use of documentation. Translated and introduced by Xavier F. Salomon, Curator of Southern Baroque Paintings, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 14 pages of prints after Veronese, by contemporaries including the Carracci.

Grace and Grandeur
Of the triumvirate of sixteenth-century Venetian painters, Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, Paolo [Caliari] Veronese (1528-1588) best conveyed Venice's civic splendor. His masterpieces in the Doge's Palace conferred on the Republic a magnificence and authority that was rapidly dwindling by the end of the Renaissance. But on a private level, he also reshaped the fashions of the Serenissima through a steady stream of portrait commissions. Many members of Venice's most elite families sat for Veronese, as did notable artists and authors, including Titian and Sir Phillip Sidney. Once regarded as Venice's best portraitist, his talents in this genre unfortunately remain largely unknown to modern a...
Veronese : Magnificence in Renaissance Venice
"Paolo Veronese (1528-1588) was one of the great Venetian artists of the Renaissance, whose works were admired for their rich colours and mastery of theatrical narrative. His paintings ranged from decorative fresco schemes and portraits to allegorical, biblical and historical subjects, produced for an aristocratic international audience. This definitive reappraisal of the artist also provides a fascinating account of painting and patronage in 16th-century Venice. Xavier F. Salomon traces Veronese's career from its beginnings in Verona, where he developed an art shaped by the rediscovery of antiquity, to Venice, where he established a successful workshop. Salomon's discussion of Veronese's entire output, including his monumental banquet scenes, illuminates the original function of every work, many of them designed for specific locations. Generous illustrations, including numerous details, reveal the distinctive tactile qualities of Veronese's technique and the beauty of his palette, whether rendering rich textiles, precious metals or female complexions. This splendid book makes a significant contribution to scholarship in the field of 16th-century Venetian painting"--Book jacket.

"Despite his towering reputation, there have been few books in English on Veronese. The culmination of years of research on the artist by Richard Cocke, the leading authority on Veronese in the English-speaking world, Paolo Veronese offers the most ready avenue to understanding Veronese's work, both secular and religious."--BOOK JACKET.
