Description:
|
|
Following a commission by Prior Bernardo Torlioni, the Verona-born painter Paolo Veronese spent three periods between 1555 and 1570 decorating various parts of the interior of San Sebastiano. One theme is the Book of Esther, shown in the three large paintings on the ceiling of the nave: Esther Crowned by Ahasuerus (rectangular, in the center), The Triumph of Mordecai (oval), and The Banishment of Vashti (oval). The strict diagonal composition offers a wealth of narrative detail, and like all other pictures in the series, takes into account the di sotto in su angle of vision, with its foreshortened perspectives, which pervades the space.
