# Doge Antonio Grimani Kneeling Before the Faith \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TIZIANO Vecellio]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on canvas ## Commentary Titian's tasks as official painter to the Venetian Republic included the execution of votive paintings commissioned by the doges. He worked extremely slowly on this large painting of an allegorical figure of Faith appearing to Doge Antonio Grimani, depicted in a theatrical pose of devotion. This is the best preserved part of a badly damaged painting. Left unfinished at the painter's death and saved from a fire in the Doge's Palace, it was completed by Marco Vecellio, Titian's nephew. The painting is in the Sala delle Quattro Porte. ## Related artworks - [A Knight of Malta]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Allegory of Time Governed by Prudence]() - [Angel of the Annunciation]() - [Annunciation]() - [Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle \(detail\)]() - [Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
