 Biography
Paolo Veronese was an Italian Renaissance painter; one of the great masters of the Venetian school.
Veronese combined these elements of the local High Renaissance style with Mannerist elements, including complex compositional schemes that often employ a “worm's-eye view” perspective and Michelangelesque figures in powerful foreshortened or contorted poses.
Veronese's growing interest in scenographic architecture, inspired partly by the real architecture of such contemporaries as Palladio and partly by contemporary stage settings, is spectacularly evident in the vast Marriage at Cana (1562-63, Louvre, Paris), virtually a cityscape with incidental figures.

 Veronese at the Correr 'Paolo Veronese: myths, portraits, allegories' From Venice Tourist Board: official website.
I owe everything to Paolo Veronese.' This was the genial and surprising intuition of the founder of Romanticism, but a short time later the official critique discovered that Veronese applied the laws of complementary tones well before physics established its scientific principles.
It is unsurprising therefore that the impressionists were fond of the painting of Paolo Veronese and with a particularly happy outcome for Renoir who, besides employing an endless range of pinks and blues, seems to share with the Veneto master a vital and sensual adherence to his subject.
If Renoir's impressionism was a key factor in the creation of the legend of Paris, Veronese's colourist style was the undoubted artifice of the Myth of Venice; and it is indicative that both employ instantly comprehensible images, totally justifiable by their presence alone and with no need for meaning.
