About this listen
The magnificent Veronese show that opened at the National Gallery in London in 2014 met with a curiously subdued response from local reviewers. They recognized that it was a magnificent event of its kind, and one that was especially appropriate because the gallery has an important group of works by this 16th-century Venetian painter in its own collection, among them the famous Family of Darius Before Alexander. The show was extremely well-presented in the upstairs galleries of the main building, not in the subterranean spaces of the modern annex - one good reason for this being that a number of the paintings, among them the huge altarpiece of the Martyrdom of Saint George, from San Giorgio in Braida, Verona, are simply to big to fit into the NG’s dedicated temporary exhibition space.
