Letter to Paolo Veronese by Francesco Sadinello from Castelfranco

Letter to Paolo Veronese by Francesco Sadinello from Castelfranco

Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari) (in 11 augustus 1568)

Ask anything

  • Mariana Rocha Figueira asked

    My name is Mariana and I am working in the research department at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. I'm currently researching a copy of a Veronese from the collection. Some scholars have entitled it as Holy Family with Young St John and St Catherine while others as St Barbara. It looks like you have a sketch of the original painting and it would be interesting to know what has the patron asked the artist for. Would you by any chance have a transcript of this letter?

    Best regards,
    Mariana Rocha Figueira

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Dear Mariana, thank you for your question. Our curator just sent you the transcript it in a separate email. Kind regards, Els
