Anselmo Canera

[1] He is noted for his frescoes and his collaborations with other Italian artists such as Bernardino India and Paolo Veronese.

[6] Canera is noted in this project for his well-preserved frescoes on walls and cove vaults dedicated to the Roman emperors.

[7] Canera also worked with the young Paolo Veronese at the Villa Soranzo near Treviso in 1552,[8] and subsequently is recorded painting at Castelfranco, Vicenza, and Verona.

Their work at Castelfranco for the Soranzo family involved a cycle of frescoes on the villa's walls.

[9] In 1584, his canvas of the Insult to the Pharaoh formed part of a trio of canvases, the others by Felice Brusasorzi and Paolo Farinati depicting scenes from the life of Moses in the Palazzo Ridolfi.
