Biography:
Born as the son of a stonecutter and trained in the trade, Paolo Caliari showed more interest in painting, the profession of his uncle Antonio Badile. After studying under Giovanni Caroto, Veronese worked in Verona and Mantua before settling in Venice in 1555. His work was held on par with the paintings of Titian and Tintoretto during his career. The Inquisition condemned his painting, The Feast in the House of Levi because it was thought to trivialize religious subjects. His greatest work however is Marriage at Cana, a large painting that contains over 120 portraits of royalty and celebrities of the time.
