Veronese

1528-1588

Paolo Caliari, called Veronese from his native city, Verona. Venetian School. Born 1528; died 1588. In Verona he presumably studied modeling under his father and painting under his uncle Antonio Badile. Mannerist influences reached him from various sources – from Giulio Romano's decorations in Mantua and from the Parmese Parmigianino. By 1555 or a little earlier Veronese had settled in Venice. In his vast output of decorations he employed collaborators, including his brother (Benedetto) and his sons (Carletto and Gabriele). It was these relatives who carried on the studio after Paolo's death: some extant paintings are signed as by the 'heirs of Paolo Veronese.'
