1. Title: "Doge of Venice in Regal Splendor: A 13th Century Portrait of Power and Prosperity" 2.. This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, presents a captivating portrait of the Doge of Venice from the 13th century. The Doge, the supreme authority and leader of the Republic of Venice, is depicted in all his regal splendor, adorned in the opulence and grandeur befitting his position. The Doge's head is crowned with a gold diadem, symbolizing his sovereign power, while a toque, a tall, conical hat, sits atop his head. A long, ermine-lined cape is draped over his shoulders, adding an air of majesty and luxury. In his right hand, he holds an almuce, a ceremonial scepter, while his left hand clutches a gold-embroidered robe, signifying his wealth and status. The intricate gold detailing on the Doge's clothing and accessories is a testament to the prosperity and artistic excellence of the Venetian Republic during the Middle Ages. The illustration, taken from the book "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of this period. The Doge's regal attire, with its combination of practicality and opulence, reflects the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that characterized Venetian culture during this time. Overall, this portrait offers a glimpse into the rich history and grandeur of the Doge of Venice and the Republic he led.
