About this work

Pedestal in the form of a cartouche. On it a medallion with on the front the portrait of Tommaso Barbarigo. He lived during the time of Enrico Dandolo, Doge of Venice. On the back the senate in session and the text: Sapientiae Civis. On the pedestal lies the personification of Glory and Reputation. It concerns a man in gold brocade, crowned with a wreath of flowers and a golden chain around his neck. He leans on the club of Hercules and holds a torch in his left hand. He is flanked by laurel branches and the letters B.A.R.B.A.D.I.G.I. The print is part of an album.
