Allegorical picture of Paolo Veronese “Honor”. Diameter 230 cm, canvas, oil.
The combination of a common decorative and monumental painting effect with a rich differentiation of color relationships is also evident in a number of allegorical compositions of Veronese. He is interested only in the festive, entertaining expressive side of life.
Interwoven into the cycle or in separate compositions, everyday motifs should only revive the whole, remove the feeling of solemn splendor and, so to speak, the inventiveness of the composition, enhance the sense of the convincingness of that glittering poem about the jubilant celebration of life that Veronese creates in his paintings.
