"Sketch for the Bevilacqua Altarpiece" is a preparatory work by the renowned Italian Renaissance painter Paolo Veronese (1528–1588), whose birth name was Paolo Caliari. This sketch is a significant piece in understanding Veronese's artistic process and provides insight into the development of one of his religious commissions. Veronese, celebrated for his grand historical and biblical scenes, was a master of color and narrative, elements that are evident even in his preliminary sketches.

The Bevilacqua Altarpiece, for which this sketch was made, was commissioned by the Bevilacqua family, a prominent dynasty in Verona, showcasing Veronese's importance in the Venetian art scene. The sketch serves as a visual blueprint, outlining the composition and initial thoughts on the arrangement of figures, use of space, and the interplay of light and shadow that would be further refined in the final painting. It exemplifies the Renaissance practice of creating detailed preparatory sketches as part of the painting process, a testament to the meticulous planning involved in creating large-scale religious works.

Although the exact date of the sketch's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced in the mid to late 16th century, during a period when Veronese was at the height of his artistic powers and receiving commissions from across the Venetian Republic. The sketch not only highlights Veronese's skillful draftsmanship but also provides a window into the religious and cultural milieu of the time, reflecting the themes and iconography that were prevalent in Venetian society.

Today, "Sketch for the Bevilacqua Altarpiece" is valued not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical significance, offering scholars and art enthusiasts alike a deeper understanding of Veronese's work and the broader context of Renaissance art.
