Description: | This is a reduced copy after Triumph of Venice, the oval ceiling painting that Veronese and his assistants executed for the Hall of the Great Council in the Doge's Palace in the early 1580s. It is a complex vision with foreshortening, rich architecture and ebullient figures. Venice, personified, floats in a cloud halfway up a towering, two-tiered structure with salomonic columns and crowded with figures. The scene is seen from below in steep perspective against a blue sky. The copyist has set the scene into a feigned oval in accordance with the original format of the ceiling painting. | Subjects: | allegory | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Veronese, Paolo (Italian painter and draftsman, 1528-1588) Æ Attributed to after Previously attributed to manner of Veronese, Paolo (Italian painter and draftsman, 1528-1588) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8476... | Go to resource |
