The Frick Collection has assembled all five of Paolo Veronese's allegorical paintings held in the United States for an exhibition entitled Veronese's Allegories: Virtue, Love, and Exploration in Renaissance Venice, on display from April 11 through July 16, 2006. The symbolism of 16th-century painted allegories are often confusing in the 21st, and bold, busy Mannerist allegories are even more so. Stan Parchin, About Art History Senior Correspondent for Museums and Special Exhibitions, here takes us on a brief tour of the five Veronese paintings and offers a few words of wisdom about that which each is supposed to depict.
