Veronese. The Profane Painter

This sumptuous exhibition catalogue aims to underline the profane aspect of Veronese, leaving aside his religious works and altarpieces. Not that these paintings are considered of less importance, but simply because they, however splendid, are less characteristic of the man. Veronese approached holy subjects in the same spirit as the "profane", choosing to bring out the emotional aspects of the Bible rather than the symbolic and evocative ones as other Venetian artists of his time were to do.
