Andrea Palladio
Villa Rotonda, near Vicenza, Italy, by Andrea Palladio, 1550–51.
The surviving fresco interiors of the Villa Barbaro at Maser were painted by the Venetian master Paolo Veronese.12
In this project, which began around 1561, Veronese was assisted by his brother, Benedetto, who helped execute the architectural framework of the frescoes. These works are celebrated for their illusionistic perspective, which breaks through the villa's walls to depict landscapes and classical mythology, marking a significant development in the history of Venetian painting.1
