Oil painting 'The Adoration of the Kings' by Paolo Veronese

In this episode, Nicholas Penny, the Director of the National Gallery of U.K, introduces the masterpiece 'The Adoration of the Kings’.
The masterpiece is an on-canvas painting of 355.6cm × 320cm. ‘The Adoration of the Kings' was painted in 1573 by Paolo Veronese.
Paolo Veronese, by the name of Paolo Caliari (1528 - April 9, 1588), was born in Verona, Republic of Venice, Italy. He was one of the leading painters of the 16th century.
He was trained in Verona by Antonio Badile by 1941, who was later to become his father-in-law, and was apprenticed with Giovanni Battista Caroto in 1544.
Paolo Veronese's works often depict allegorical, biblical, or historical subjects in splendid colour and set in a framework that classicizes the architecture of Renaissance.
During his career, Veronese worked for patrons, religious and secular, in Venice and the Veroto. His noble works are the full-scale decoration of the Venetian church of S. Sebastiano (1555–around 1570), ceiling and wall paintings for the library of S. Marco (1556–57) and the Ducal Palace (early 1550s and 1575–82), fresco decorations of the Villa Barbaro at Maser (around 1560), and a number of major altarpieces.
