Some of his most famous works include "The Wedding at Cana," "The Triumph of Venice," and "The Feast in the House of Levi." Veronese was highly regarded during his lifetime and received numerous commissions from wealthy patrons, including the Venetian government. He died in Venice in 1588 at the age of 60.
