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