Paolo Veronese’s sumptuous paintings, with their vibrant colours and theatrical elegance, have often been admired for their surface beauty but also questioned for perceived excess and detachment. In this incisive study, Tom Nichols reconsiders Veronese’s pictorial language not as superficial display, but as a deliberate visual strategy that resisted the hierarchies and exclusions of sixteenth-century Venetian society. Through detailed analysis of major works, Nichols highlights the painter’s striking inclusion of marginal figures – women, servants, people of colour and the poor – within scenes of civic and sacred grandeur. Far from a passive decorator, Veronese emerges as a subtle commentator on power, dignity and the possibilities of art.

Through a series of brilliant visual analyses of Veronese’s paintings, Nichols’s book highlights the feminization of the artist’s ravishingly beautiful visual world as well as the sustained attention that he paid to those on the margins of society. Veronese emerges as an aristocratic painter but never a socially exclusive one. His tendency toward pictorial inclusivity is explored for the first time in this compelling and sharply observed study that casts fresh light on one of the greatest masters of the Venetian Renaissance.
