"The career of Paolo Morando (il Cavazzola) is within its brief limits at least equally a testimony to the conservative disposition of the native Veronese.  In 1517 his series of the Passion of Christ (Verona, Museo del Castelvecchio) is dramatically eloquent, but in a vocabulary that is fixed in its attachment to the Quattrocento: all that identifies the time of the painting of these works is that light is manipulated in them with a chiaroscuro range unlike that of the old century – but only in order to intensify effects of realism – it is a demonstration at a late date of the propositions that belong to a past style."
