veronese

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'juliet perhaps?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'letters from lover one's enamoured' is the wordplay.
'letters from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (a selection of letters from the clue).
'VERONESE' can be found hidden inside 'lover ones enamoured'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for veronese that I've seen before include "Paolo --, Italian painter" , "Marriage at Cana artist" .)
