Véronèse « Un tableau en procès »

A study of Veronese’s painting The Feast in the House of Levi (1573), originally conceived as a representation of the Last Supper. By transforming the traditional space and spirit of the subject into a grand Venetian banquet, the painter was accused of heresy by the Inquisition (reconstructed here through a voice-over of his dialogue with the judges). Ordered to correct the work, Veronese changed only its title.
