We’re making our way to Venice, Italy! Isn’t this sculpture of the Doge amazing? The marble sculpture of the Doge is in the Doge’s Palace, the seat of the Venetian government and the home of the ruling duke of Venice, or doge. He was the supreme authority in the Republic of Venice. The texture is smooth! Enjoy!

What a great choice for ‘texture’. I am jealous – Venice is on my wish list. Will look forward to more photos meanwhile.
Oh Annette, we just loved Venice! Lots of pictures and posts to come!
Venice is so fabulous, I look forward to your posts.
Lots of pictures to come for Venice!
Amazingly realistic sculpture…wonder if the Doge was happy with it’s realism or wanted something more flattering!
Yes, the features are fantastic, but I’m with you, not very flattering!
