Doge Official Principal Robes Spalart Venice
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart for his Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages in 1796, depicts the Doge of Venice in his official robes from the 16th century. The Doge, or the Duke of Venice, was the supreme authority in the Republic of Venice, a major maritime power during the European Renaissance. The Doge's regal attire reflects the grandeur and prestige of his position. He is shown wearing a richly decorated robe, adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, and a fur-trimmed mantle. A golden coronet sits atop his head, symbolizing his sovereignty. The Doge's scepter and orb, emblems of his power and authority, are held in his hands. The engraving captures the opulence and grandeur of the Venetian Republic during the 16th century, a time of cultural, artistic, and economic prosperity. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving, as well as the vibrant colors used in the handcoloring, bring the image to life and transport us back to a bygone era. This historical artwork is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Venice and the Doge's important role in shaping it.
