This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart in 1811, captures the grandeur and opulence of the Wife of a Doge of Venice from the 16th century. The image showcases the woman's fur-lined cloak, which is adorned with an impressive hood and a bodice decorated with intricately placed pearls. The Doge of Venice was the highest-ranking official in the Republic of Venice, and his wife was expected to embody the wealth and prestige of the position. The engraving is a testament to the extravagant fashion trends of the time, with the Wife of the Doge donning a voluminous fur-lined cloak, a symbol of power and luxury. The large hood, which covers the woman's head and shoulders, adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The pearl decorations on her bodice further accentuate her regal status, reflecting the wealth and prosperity of the Venetian Republic. Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages was a groundbreaking work that documented the fashion and costumes of various historical figures and periods. This particular engraving of the Wife of a Doge of Venice is a stunning example of the meticulous detail and artistic skill that Spalart brought to his work. The image transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of the Doge's wife and the grandeur of the Venetian Republic.
