Paolo+Veronese

=Paolo Veronese (artist)= If you haven't heard of a wonderful Italian man that greatly inspired the European region, then you don't know about Paolo Veronese! Originally, his name was Paolo Caliari. He was born in Venice, Italy in 1528, and lived there for most of his life. During his lifetime, he was a successful artist. He is considered one of he most famous artists in European history! It is probably because his paintings attract the more visitors in France and Italy than any other paintings by other European artists! Unfortunately, he passed away in 1588. Antonio Badille was such a great role model and teacher to Paolo! A great, good-quality role model encourages and trains the person until he/she reaches their goal, and that is exactly what Antonio did with Paolo. He trained him and kept him going until he became a successful/well known artist! While he trained him, he taught him the statistics of art that every artist should know in order to be successful. Paolo was given the idea to make his paintings in a detailed, authentic, and colorful manner by Antonio. He then taught him how to create his projects in those styles. While Paolo was growing more and more popular, he realized how much of Antonio was to him, how much he did for him, and he couldn't thank him enough. Paolo constructed many wall and ceiling paintings during his course of lifetime. Most of them are currently located in either Italy or France. The Decoration of Villa Soranzo at Treville was his very first project, and was painted during the 1550's. It is now destroyed, unfortunately. A few of his famous wall paintings, such as the Supper at Emmaus(painted in 1595-1560) and the Wedding Feast At Cana(painted in 1563) are located in the famous Louvre museum in Paris, France. The Weddi g Feast at Cana is currently in the same room as the famous Mona Lisa painting, which is made by Leonardo Da Vinci. Both paintings expressed and showed religious beliefs. In 1992, Paolo's most famous artwork, the Wedding Feast At Cana, embarrassed the Louvre for several years by being destroyed many times. First, it was splattered with water by a leaking air vent. Then, it was toppled onto the floor and shattered because one of the supporters broke loose. Because of those incidents, the museum was criticized for a while. On a good note, when the painting was fixed and put back up, it brought quite a lot of visitors to the Louvre, making the museum very popular! It caught the eyes of many French citizens and tourists Over the years! They all appreciated his ways of making the painting. It wonderfully illustrated the Bible, according to them. They especially liked his choice of colors and how realistic the scene was painted. Not only did this painting fascinate the French, it helped a lot of them understand more of the Bible(those who didn't get it at first), and to appreciate the Christian religion and read the Bible more often (those who didn't before). So, even though Paolo Veronese's famous painting embarrassed the Louvre for several years, he inspired many, many French citizens and even tourists to appreciate the Bible and the Christian religion! As you might know, a lot of people in France currently attend church services and there are plenty of churches there. Most of those people know about Paolo's paintings, and they visited them and were inspired to become Christians. We will always remember Paolo's wonderful works and his influence on the Louvre and the European region. Most importantly, we will remember Paolo Veronese himself as he rests in peace.
