Abstract
The painting Christ and the Centurion (Fig. 1) in the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery in Kansas City is one of several versions of the same subject painted by Veronese and his school.1 Other versions are in the galleries of the Prado, Vienna, Munich, and Dresden.2 Next to the painting in the Prado (of which it is, to some extent, a simplified version) it may well be considered the most impressive of the various renditions. The picture has recently been restored with much success.3
