ANTONIO MOCENIGO (ACTIVE 1522)

Commissione for Antonio Mocenigo on his appointment as Procurator

1522

RCIN 1081196

After the Doge, the Procurators of San Marco were the most important officials of the Venetian Republic, and were elected for life. Mocenigo’s commissione or list of duties carries at the front a depiction of Mocenigo receiving his charge from St Mark, the patron saint of Venice. This illumination may be by Bernardo Bordon, the leading Venetian miniaturist around 1500.
