Veronese
also: Веронеза, Veronese

Reading notes
- To M. Ye. Chekhov, 1891. Venice. §6 a painting by Veronese
Paolo Veronese (1528-1588), cited only in passing as an example, alongside the bronze horses, of Venetian art so prized that "whole states have quarreled" over it; no specific painting is named, unlike the tomb of Canova that follows in the same sentence.
