The work captures the subject in a formal profile-leaning pose, wearing the distinctive corno ducale, the traditional headgear of the Venetian Doge. The artist employs a precise linear technique, using varied hatching to define the texture of the Doge's beard and the folds of his ceremonial robes. To the left of the figure, a heraldic cartouche displays a stork, a visual pun on the surname Cicogna, which translates to stork in Italian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacopo Palma il Giovane was a prolific draughtsman and printmaker in the late sixteenth century. His style reflects the transition from the late Renaissance to the early Baroque period in Venice. The composition is structured with a clear vertical emphasis, balancing the figure against the plain background and the decorative emblem. The etching demonstrates the technical proficiency required for portraiture in this era, where the artist had to convey both the physical likeness and the status of the sitter through limited tonal range. The inclusion of the Latin inscription, 'PASCHALIS CICONIA DUX VENETIAR', identifies the sitter clearly, adhering to the conventions of official portraiture intended for public circulation or inclusion in historical chronicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print provides a window into the visual culture of the Venetian Republic. The focus on the Doge's features, particularly the eyes and the detailed rendering of his facial hair, suggests a desire to project authority and wisdom. The work remains a representative example of how Venetian artists documented the leadership of the city during a period of political and cultural transition. The clarity of the line work ensures that the details of the ducal regalia remain legible, allowing for an examination of the costume and symbols associated with the office of the Doge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-giacomo-doria-titian\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Giacomo Doria by Titian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/livia-da-porto-thiene-and-her-daughter-porzia-paolo-veronese\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLivia da Porto Thiene and her Daughter Porzia by Paolo Veronese\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Palma il Giovane","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461826707791,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461832114511,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59461832147279,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461832180047,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461832212815,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461832245583,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461832278351,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461832311119,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461832343887,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59461832376655,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59461832409423,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59461832442191,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Pasquale-Cicogna-Doge-of-Venice_Poster_CompositorV1_1794631600528.jpg?v=1794631916","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/portrait-of-pasquale-cicogna-doge-of-venice-jacopo-palma-il-giovane","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
