Little is known of Canera's biography. He is said to have trained with Giovanni Francesco Caroto.[2] He painted in fresco in some of the Palladian construction in and around Verona, including Palazzo Thiene[3] and those of Villa Pojana in Pojana Maggiore.[4] During 1550-1560, he collaborated in such fresco work with Bernardino India. They were considered two of the top painters during their time.[5] This collaboration included their work for Villa Pojana, an estate in Vicentino.[6] Canera is noted in this project for his well-preserved frescoes on walls and cove vaults dedicated to the Roman emperors.[7]

Canera also worked with the young Paolo Veronese at the Villa Soranzo near Treviso in 1552,[8] and subsequently is recorded painting at Castelfranco, Vicenza, and Verona. Their work at Castelfranco for the Soranzo family involved a cycle of frescoes on the villa's walls.[9] This work only survived in fragments.[9] In 1584, his canvas of the Insult to the Pharaoh formed part of a trio of canvases, the others by Felice Brusasorzi and Paolo Farinati depicting scenes from the life of Moses in the Palazzo Ridolfi.[10]
