Boy with a Greyhound
Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari) (Italian, Verona 1528–1588 Venice)
Date: possibly 1570s
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 68 3/8 x 40 1/8 in. (173.7 x 101.9 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: H. O. Havemeyer Collection, Bequest of Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer, 1929
Accession Number: 29.100.105
Gallery Label:
This portrait, possibly dating from the 1570s, once belonged to the Martinengo family of Brescia, who claimed that it depicted a member of the Colleoni family of Bergamo.
In conception the picture recalls Veronese's illusionistic frescoes in the Villa Maser, near Vicenza, in which members of the Maser family are shown as though entering the space of the viewer through an open door.
X-rays show that the position of the dog was radically altered by Veronese. The picture has been abraded and the sky, painted in a fugitive smalt blue, has lost most of its color.
