Bonaparte’s prize of war
0
0
Born in Verona, Paolo Caliari, known as Veronese, moved to Venice in 1553. Over time, he became a major painter and left numerous paintings in all the city’s churches. In particular, he painted the central compartment of the ceiling of the Audience Hall of the Doge’s Palace, which represents ‘Jupiter hurling thunderbolts at the Vices’. His strong style forcefully depicts the fall of the vices driven out of Olympus. In 1797, after the defeat of the Venetians, the painting was dismantled and seized by General Bonaparte as a war prize. It joined the Venetian collections of the Louvre in 1798.
