EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "VENICE: DOGE, 18th CENTURY" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in Venetian history. The image showcases the Doge of Venice, adorned in regal attire, as he graciously distributes coins to his subjects. This illustration is derived from Giovanni Grevembroch's renowned work, Gradenigo Dolphin, which dates back to the mid-18th century. The scene depicted here reflects not only the economic prosperity of Venice during this era but also highlights the stark contrast between social classes. As we observe closely, we can see a diverse crowd gathered around the Doge; some are richly dressed individuals arriving on luxurious sedan chairs while others appear less fortunate and impoverished. The presence of a litter and servants further emphasizes the opulence associated with royalty. Through this image, we gain insight into both the financial power wielded by Venetian leaders and their commitment towards charity and philanthropy. As we delve into this historical snapshot captured by The Granger Collection, it serves as a reminder that Venice was not just an architectural marvel but also a thriving economic hub where wealth coexisted alongside poverty. This print invites us to reflect upon how economics shaped society during that period and encourages us to appreciate both its beauty and complexity.
