Doge Francesco DandoloPaolo Veneziano
Veneziano’s pre-2001-restoration painting for Doge Dandolo’s tomb (1329–39) is the earliest ducal votive portrait. It depicts the Doge kneeling before the Madonna and Child, presented by St. Francis, while his wife, Elisabetta, is introduced by St. Elizabeth. Positioned above his sarcophagus, it unites Venetian politics and devotion.
