The Annunciation
Paolo Veneziano, also Veneziano Paolo or Paolo da Venezia (born before 1333, died after 1358) was a medievalpainter from Venice.[1] He has been called ‘the most important Venetian painter of the 14th century’.[2] Many signed and dated works of this artist are known. He was regarded as the official painter of the Venetian Republic.[3]
Style
Paolo’s style was indebted to Byzantine influences but also betrays a knowledge of contemporary painting in Rimini. His more advanced works show the influence of gothic art.
Through his art he was the founder of the Venetian school which would exert its influence throughout the 14th century and in particular on Lorenzo Veneziano.[1]
