Summarize the situation that resulted in a "name change" for Paolo Veronese's Last Supper
What will be an ideal response?
Essay responses should include these points:
• The painting was considered heretical because of the irreverent treatment of the subject matter.
• Veronese was called before the Inquisition to answer charges relating to his Last Supper.
• The inquisition did not think it was appropriate to have buffoons, drunkards, Germans, and so on, included in the work.
• Veronese was told to improve and correct his work or face charges.
• Veronese chose to change the name of the painting, thus preserving his creation.
• The name change, which made reference to a biblical scene of Levi's banquet for Jesus that was attended by tax collectors and others, was more appropriate by Inquisition standards.
