An artist's biography of Paolo Veronese was included to the second edition of the Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (1568), by Giorgio Vasari, with an improved coverage of the painters of the Florentine School.
A fuller biography of Veronese had to await Le maraviglie dell' Arte ovvero, Le vite degli Illustri Pittori Veneti and dello Stato (1648), by Carlo Ridolfi, a compilation of the Venetian School painters.
