Art: The Renaissance's Big Men on Canvas

Veronese, Portrait of a Man, c. 1551-53
Veronese was more given to "propping" his portraits. Titian focused on the solitary drama of face and hands. In portraits like this one, Veronese provided his subjects with allegorical backgrounds and accessories. The ruins and ivy here symbolize loss and death.
