Synopsis

Paulo Veronese's "Allegory of Wisdom and Strength" is one of the world's most distinguished old masterworks, acclaimed both for its technical virtuosity and its incredible journey through history. During more than four centuries it has been a silent witness to great political dramas - war, abdication, revolution and attempted assassination; the personal tragedies of emperors, queens, the royal dukes of France and the corrupt cardinals of Italy; and it has belonged to some of the greatest collectors in history. Today it hangs among the Reynolds, Rembrandts and Renoirs of the Frick collection on New York's Fifth Avenue. A truly timeless work of art, "Wisdom and Strength" has been looted, smuggled, praised by poets; it has presided over the Regent of France's notorious orgies in 18th century Paris.
