PLATE I.—JUPITER DESTROYING THE VICES
(In the Musée du Louvre)
This large composition shows a method rarely employed by Veronese. The great imaginative artist here tried his hand at the more vigorous school of painting, and with complete success. It is especially admired for certain remarkable effects of foreshortening. This picture, painted for the Ducal Palace, served as a ceiling decoration in Louis XIVth’s chamber at Versailles, until it was finally transferred to the Louvre.
