The Peace 1551 - 1552

"The Peace," painted by Paolo Veronese between 1551 and 1552, depicts a woman, likely representing Peace, holding a staff. The image is set against a blue sky with clouds, and the woman sits atop a rock formation. Veronese, a prominent artist of the Venetian Renaissance, is known for his vibrant colors and meticulous details, which are evident in this work. The figure's flowing garments and the serene landscape contribute to the overall sense of tranquility, a theme that is central to the artwork's title.
