unusual facts about Veronese


Euripus Strait

(The name has nothing to do with any sort of "Black Bridge," except as a Veronese or Venetian joke.)


Basilica of San Zeno, Verona

As for the dating, some of the panels were made by Saxon masters of Hildesheim in the 11th century, while others are from Veronese masters (according to some scholars, including Benedetto Antelami himself).

Carlo Caliari

They include Angelica and Medoro (c. 1584; Padua, Barbieri priv. col.), which has a preciousness in the landscape and in details of foliage and coiffures that sets it apart from Veronese's work.

Gabriele Zerbi

Gabriele Zerbi (1445 – 1505) was a Veronese professor at the Universities of Bologna and Padua.

Ippolito Baccusi

In 1572 he was maestro di cappella at the church of Sant'Eufemia in Verona, where he may have been associated with the Veronese Accademia Filarmonica.

Istrian stone

When Francesco, son of the architect Jacopo Sansovino, wrote Venetia citta nobilissima et singolare (1580) he emphasized the distinctive quality that Istrian stone and the coppery-red Verona brocatello limestone (so-called Veronese marble) lent to the city.

Joe Alioto Veronese

In April 2006, Veronese was chosen by Mayor Newsom to represent San Francisco in Rome at the consistory that raised William Levada to the cardinalate; Veronese led a delegation of interfaith leaders of every large religious group in San Francisco to Rome and continues to work with religious groups to find common ground on difficult and controversial issues facing San Francisco.

Liutold of Eppenstein

The Eppensteiner domains however were significantly narrowed, as Henry gave the Veronese Friuli region to the Patriarchate of Aquileia, while the Carinthian March of Styria remained under the rule of the Otakars.

Mastino I della Scala

In the following year he led the Veronese army to the conquest of Lonigo and Montebello, menacing Vicenza.

His collection of Old Masters, including Veronese, Titian, Claude Lorrain and Rubens, and a fabulous collection of drawings, was broken up and sold after his death, raising the immense sum of £26,000.

San Silvestro, Venice

The Adoration of the Magi by Paolo Veronese is a large oil painting on canvas painted for the church in 1573 which has been in the National Gallery, London since the church sold it in 1855, presumably to finance the rebuilding.

Villa Barbarigo, Noventa Vicentina

In 1588, the Barbarigo family had commissioned the building from a generally unknown Veronese architect, who was familiar with Andrea Palladio's works.
