Description: This book presents a remarkable collection of art, furniture, and objects d'art from the Morosini family, a prominent Venetian dynasty. It offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Venetian aristocracy during its golden age, providing insights into their artistic patronage and collecting habits. The collection umfasst a wide range of works, including paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and ceramics, created between the 15th and 19th centuries. Highlights include a stunning 16th-century parade helmet, a bronze bust of the Doge Francesco Morosini by Alessandro Vittoria, and a collection of exquisite porcelain from China, Saxony, and Vienna. The author explores the historical context of the collection, tracing the rise and fall of the Morosini family and their role in shaping Venetian art and culture.
