Paolo Veronese
By: Maeve Parnell
Background
Creating Art
Veronese received his first trainings from Antonio Badile at a young age in Verona. In 1552, he was in Mantua where he saw the art works of Giulio Romano, which is what gave him his inspiration for his art pieces. He also had lots of influences from artist that lived in Verona, the town he grew up in. Two types of art he created were; religious paintings and secular paintings. Such as; Temptation of St. Anthony, Jupiter Fulminating the Vices, and Triumph of Venice.

The Piece in My Words
In the painting it looks as if wealthy and royal people are all eating at the table. And in the middle of the table sits Jesus, putting the attention and eyes on him. Surrounding the table are people admiring Jesus and praising him. I see it as a celebration to Jesus. The musicians at his feet are playing music to him in thanks and praise.
