Portrait of the Doge Francesco Venier 1556

Titian’s *Portrait of the Doge Francesco Venier* (1556) is a striking example of Venetian portraiture, depicting the Doge in full regalia. The Doge’s imposing figure is captured with meticulous detail, showcasing Titian's mastery of color and brushwork. The rich textures of the Doge's garments, the subtle rendering of his face, and the glimpse of a Venetian cityscape beyond contribute to a sense of grandeur and power. The painting is currently housed at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain, and is a treasured example of Titian's artistic legacy.
