From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Portrait of Doge Leonardo Loredan (Italian: Ritratto del doge Leonardo Loredan) is a painting by Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, dating from c. 1501–02.[1] It portrays Leonardo Loredan, the Doge of Venice from 1501 to 1521, in his ceremonial garments with the corno ducale worn over a linen cap.[1] It is signed IOANNES BELLINVS on a cartellino("small paper") and is 61.4 × 44.5 cm in size.[1] It is currently on display in the National Gallery in London.[1] Giovanni Bellini was one of the most affluential Venetian artists of the time, and this portrait displays the influence and uniqueness of his work.[2]
