The Doge of Venice was the highest authority during the Venetian Republic. I saw the original of this painting in the Museo Correr, and was drawn to it for its golden hues and the man's distinctive character and presence.
Inscription on back of card:
Gentile Bellini painted this protrait of Doge Giovanni Mocenigo. Though recognizable, Bellini did not intend this portrait to capture the sitter's likeness, but rather to depict the doge as the symbol of the Venetian Republic.
