Description: 1950 THE VILLA MASER vintage print article "Masterpiece of Illusion"
-- The Villa Maser ... It Preserves Veronese's Masterpiece of Illusion ... Fountain of Neptune guards the villa ... In the 16th Century the splendor of the Venetian Republic spread far beyond the city's lagoons. On the mainland, as far as the blue rim of the Italian Alps, the wealthy Venetians built their stately summer palaces to which they withdrew during the sultry months. Most spectacular of these was the villa of the Barbaro brothers at Maser, 40 miles northwest of Venice ... (last image in sequence) In costume of the Renaissance, Countess Buschetti's elder daughter Esmeralda pauses beside a column adorning the facade of the villa, looking as if she had stepped out of one of Veronese's murals. In background is one of Vittoria's classical sculptures which line the driveway and terraces of the 2,500-acre estate. --
