the two old people painting to me shows talent ,freedom, uniqeness.
spontaneity, control, intensity, knowledge of form, ect.etc.Great!
Veronese shows great talent wasted on popular forced compositions
to please forces outside of himself. If I had that painting ,I'd
trade it
small gas saving toyota and give the rest of it's worth to my kids.

Here is a comparison. The notion of beauty can sensibly be used with
the Veronese - and not just because of the subject. He offers us an
image of beauty and nobility to wonder at and admire. Goya is plumbing
the depths of some nether world. He is not remotely interested in
beauty or evoking admiration. Applying the notion of beauty
indiscriminately to paintings as different as these two simply empties
the idea of beauty of sense and substance.
