VERONESE, Paolo
(b. 1528, Verona, d. 1588, Venezia)

Girl in the Doorway

1560-61
Fresco
Villa Barbaro, Maser

The picture shows a girl, presumably a member of the Barbaro household, apparently entering the Sala a Crociera almost by chance, but it is in fact one of the painted trompe l'oeil that still captivate visitors to the Villa Barbaro in Maser.
