Show summary

Curator: The decision to restore the cloak of the central figure in Veronese's painting from its present red to the green found underneath is fully justified. ████████ █████ ███ ████████ █████ ████ ████ ███ ███ ███████ ███ ███████ █████ ███ ████████ ███ ████ ██████████ ███ ████ ███ ███ █████ ███ ███ █████ ██ ██████████ █████████ █████ ██ ███████ ██████ ████ ██ ██████ █████ ████ ████████ ████████ ████ ██████████ ████████ █████ ███ ███████████

Summary

The art critic is responding to the claim that an artist other than Veronese tampered with Veronese’s painting after its completion to change a cloak from green to red. The critic states that that the cloak was actually red in a copy made shortly after Veronese’s death. Furthermore, it’s highly unlikely that a copyist would make this major change so soon after Veronese’s death.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

The cloak in the painting was likely already red by the time of Veronese's death.

The restoration of Veronese’s painting will likely not restore it to its appearance immediately before Veronese’s death.
