Verona - The National Gallery in London is excited to host an exhibition dedicated to a renowned italian master of the 16th century, Paolo Caliari da Verona, also known as Veronese.
Everything is almost ready for the event, which is scheduled to stay in the British capital from March 19th to June 15th. It will receive more than 50 works, coming from major European and American institutions.
The Gallery, which owns ten of them, created this project in partnership with the Castelvecchio Museum and the Municipality, the Superintendence and the University of Verona, Paolo Caliari's birthplace, where the display will be presented at the Gran Guardia from July 5th to October 5th. On this second occasion, named "Paolo Veronese. The Illusion of Reality", other masterpieces will join the collection, for a total of 100 canvases illustrating the activity of the artist and his significant influence on the Renaissance pictorial production.
The double event, curated by Paola Marini and Bernard Aikema, represents the greatest monographic exhibition of Veronese ever organized after the one that took place in Venice in 1939. Furthermore, his works will go back to his birthplace after 26 years, since the exhibition at the Castelvecchio Museums in 1988.
In the anticipation of their return to Italy, the master's art can be found in many places, first of all the church of San Francesco al Corso in Verona. Here, the restoration of the big canvas "The Feast in the House of Levi", which as been kept in the storage of Palazzo Barbieri since 1910, is almost completed. Speaking of renovation works, also those of the church of San Sebastiano in Venice, considerd the "temple" of Veronese for its refined paintings, have just come to an end in 2013.
