Aristotele
by VERONESE, Paolo, Oil on canvas
The wooden ceiling of the Salon of the Biblioteca (Libreria) Marciana contains twenty-one canvases painted between 1556 and 1559 by seven different artists, chosen, according to the records, by Jacopo Sansovino and Titian. The side walls are also richly decorated with canvases by various hands representing the Philosophers. Paolo Veronese did the two beside the portal, Plato and Aristotle.
