Paolo Veronese and workshop

Paolo Veronese and workshop is the credit a museum gives when the design of a picture is Veronese's and assistants in his Venetian studio carried out part of the painting. In his case the studio was a family business. His younger brother Benedetto Caliari worked beside him for decades, and his sons Carlo and Gabriele trained there in the 1580s.

In those last years much of Veronese's output for collectors outside Venice, biblical and mythological scenes often painted as pairs or sets, was produced this way. The master fixed the composition and the key passages, and the shop did much of the rest. When Veronese died in 1588, his brother and sons kept the studio going and signed pictures together as his heirs, Haeredes Pauli in Latin.

The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna uses this credit for Susanna and the Elders, a canvas almost three metres wide from around 1585.
