Veronese (Paulo Caliari), 1582
One of the top three 16th century Venetian painters (the others were Titian and Tintoretto), Veronese created a complex composition in oil, which has little of the reality of the Titian work but spotlights the artist's creativity.

Joslyn purchased this painting in 1942.
