Boy with a Greyhound c. 1570s

Paolo Veronese's "Boy with a Greyhound" from the 1570s showcases a young man, likely of noble standing, standing with a greyhound. The painting's realistic details, including the boy's lavish attire and the dog's lifelike posture, highlight Veronese's mastery of portraiture. This work exemplifies the Venetian painter's ability to depict both human and animal subjects with equal attention to detail, reflecting the flourishing artistic scene of Renaissance Venice.
