1605 Doge Grimani Marino Oval Venice Clovio
EDITORS COMMENTS
Marino Grimani, also known as Marino II Grimani, was a distinguished Venetian statesman and the 104th Doge of the Republic of Venice, serving from 1605 until his death in 1618. This striking oval portrait, created in 1605, depicts Grimani in the prime of his life, wearing the traditional attire of the Doge of Venice. The Doge is shown wearing the richly decorated red robe and hat, known as the "cappa ed ducalia," which symbolized his supreme authority within the Venetian government. The hat, adorned with a golden crown and a plume of white feathers, is held in the Doge's right hand. Grimani's long, flowing beard and piercing gaze convey a sense of wisdom, experience, and determination. Marino Grimani was born into a noble Venetian family and received a thorough education in law and diplomacy. He served as a diplomat for the Republic of Venice, representing Venetian interests in various European courts. In 1605, Grimani was elected Doge after a contested election, which was marked by political intrigue and maneuvering. During his reign, Grimani faced numerous challenges, including conflicts with the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. He also oversaw the construction of the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore, which remains a prominent landmark in Venice to this day. Grimani's tenure as Doge was marked by a strong commitment to the welfare of the Venetian people and the preservation of Venetian interests in the face of external threats. This evocative portrait of Marino Grimani, created in 1605, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in the history of Venice and Europe as a whole. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting bring the Doge's regal presence to life, making it a valuable historical document and a work of art in its own right.
