EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Feast in the House of Levi" by Paolo Caliari, known as Paolo Veronese (1530-1588) 2. Paolo Veronese was an influential Venetian painter of the late Renaissance period. Born in Verona, Italy, in 1528, he studied under Giambattista Zelotti and later moved to Venice to continue his artistic training. 3. Veronese's career flourished in Venice, where he became known for his large-scale, theatrical paintings filled with vibrant colors and dynamic compositions. This print depicts one of his most famous works, "The Feast in the House of Levi," painted between 1573 and 1575. 4. The painting is based on the biblical story of the Last Supper, but Veronese took creative liberties with the scene, adding numerous figures and a richly decorated setting to create a festive atmosphere. The banquet table is laden with an abundance of food, and the guests are engaged in various activities, including music, dancing, and card playing. 5. Veronese's use of color and light in "The Feast in the House of Levi" is striking, with the warm hues of the interior contrasting against the cooler tones of the outdoor landscape beyond the open doors. The artist's mastery of perspective and attention to detail are also evident in the intricate architectural elements and the individual expressions of the figures. 6. This print is a testament to Veronese's ability to transform a religious subject into a celebratory event, reflecting the joy and exuberance of the Venetian culture of the time. The painting was originally commissioned for the refectory of the Dominican monastery of San Zanipolo in Venice, where it remained until it was destroyed during the French occupation in 1797. 7. Today, "The Feast in the House of Levi" is considered one of Veronese's greatest masterpieces and a significant work of the Venetian Renaissance. The print serves as a reminder of the artist's innovative approach to painting and his enduring influence on the art world.
