EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the magnificent "Doge Andrea Gritti" portrait, painted by the renowned artist Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) in 1546-8. This oil on canvas masterpiece measures 133.6x103.2 cm and is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. The subject of this posthumous portrait is Doge Andrea Gritti, who served as the elected leader of Venice from 1523 until his passing in 1538. Gritti was a distinguished figure with an impressive background in both diplomacy and military affairs. In the painting, Doge Andrea Gritti stands tall and proud, donning a conical hat that symbolizes his position as a Venetian lord and official. His regal robes exude authority while his well-groomed moustache and beard add to his dignified appearance. This memorial artwork pays homage to Gritti's contributions to Venice as a merchant, commander, and diplomat during its golden age as a powerful city-state republic known as La Serenissima or the Most Serene Republic of Venice. Titian skillfully captures not only Gritti's physical features but also his noble character through intricate details such as the brocade cloak he wears. The painting exemplifies Renaissance artistry at its finest, showcasing both technical mastery and profound storytelling. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Italian history frozen in time on canvas, we are reminded of Doge
