Sobre a obra
Christ sits on a raised pedestal and gestures eloquently to his apostles seated below him. Paolo Veronese produced this preliminary sketch as he began to work out his first thoughts for the complex final composition of a painting. He left out the background, concentrating instead on the arrangement of the seated figures, positioned to illustrate different attitudes of listening and contemplation. Veronese swiftly sketched the figures, outlining only the basic forms and used parallel hatching to suggest areas of shadow, texture, and depth. He used a simple oval form bisected by two lines to suggest the head, eyes, and mouth of Christ and his disciples and did not even bother to draw in their clothing.

Na vida de Paolo Veronese
A vida inteira1560
A trip to Rome with Girolamo Grimani
Apparently in 1560 Veronese visited Rome with Girolamo Grimani, but in the opinion of art historians the trip had no significant consequences for his creative career.
1562
Panels for the Hall of the Great Council in the Doge's Palace
In January 1562 Veronese was commissioned to paint panels for the Hall of the Great Council in the Doge's Palace in Venice; in the view of an art historian he received this commission thanks to the success of the Maser frescoes.
1566
Marries Elena Badile in Verona
In April 1566 Veronese went to his native Verona and married Elena Badile, daughter of his first master Antonio Badile. By then official recognition in Venice had secured him not only fame but also financial independence.
1568
