什麼是韋羅內塞

Veronese, Paolo，原名保羅.卡里雅利（Paolo Caliari）。

義大利畫家。幼時隨父親學習石匠技藝，十四歲當畫家學徒。在威尼斯接受了許多委託繪畫的工作，後成為16世紀威尼斯畫派的主要畫家和著名的色彩大師。韋羅內塞擅長以富有生氣的華美色彩裝飾貴族宮廷和別墅。在繁複的威尼斯建築內部，他的壁畫精確地按透視交錯安置人物和景緻，與建築形成極有節奏的整體。如為瑪莎爾別墅的藍色天頂所畫的優美風景襯托著神話人物，強調了別墅設計者帕拉弟奧的和諧韻律。他的大型作品，如《迦拿的婚宴》、《大流士全家在亞歷山大面前》，《最後的晚餐》（1573）因其富麗堂皇和生動的寫實情節引起了宗教法庭的憤慨，受到傳訊。其同時代以及以後許多世紀的畫家，都從他運用色彩表達豐富語言的作風獲得啟發並以之作為楷模。

1528～1588年

Veronese, Paolo

Italian painter. Son of a stonecutter from Verona (the source of his nickname), he was apprenticed at 13 to a painter. After 1553, when he received the first of many commissions in Venice, he became a major painter of the 16th-century Venetian school, known for his splendid use of color and pageantlike compositions. His first works in Venice, ceiling paintings for the Doges' Palace, employ skillful foreshortenings that make figures appear to be floating in space. He decorated the villas and palaces of the Venetian nobility and received many commissions for frescoes, altarpieces, and devotional paintings, including numerous “suppers” (e.g., The Pilgrims of Emmaus and Feast in the House of the Pharisees) that allowed him to compose large groups of figures in architectural settings. In decorating a villa built by Palladio at Maser (c. 1561), he brilliantly interpreted its architectural structure, breaking through the walls with illusionistic landscapes and opening the ceilings to blue skies with figures from classical mythology. Whimsical details in his Last Supper (commissioned 1573) caused him to be summoned before the Inquisition. Painters from the 16th century on were inspired by his use of color to express exuberance as well as to model form.
