About the piece
Painted by Niccolò Cassana in 1694, this formal portrait captures Silvestro Valier, the 109th Doge of Venice. The work highlights the intricate textures of the corno ducale—the doge's ceremonial hat—and the soft white ermine cloak, set against a deep, atmospheric background characteristic of late Venetian Baroque painting.
