Until March 29, in the Correr Museum by Piazza San Marco, is held an exhibit of mostly non-religious paintings by one of the most influent artists of the 16th century in Venezia: Paolo Veronese (1528-1588). Although he had little influence right away, he was a major inspiration to both Rubens and 18th century Venician painters. His secular paintings are actually one of the most brilliant representation of the life at Venezia during his time. This exhibit is divided in three parts: the Myth of Venezia, the mythological scenes and love and allegory. The paintings come from museums from all parts of Europe and North America, and are often displayed for the first time in Italy.
