Color: Red Doge - Historically, Venetian red was widely used in painting, both as a standalone color and as a component in various paint mixtures. It was highly valued for its opacity, lightfastness, and versatility. Artists appreciated its warm and earthy tone, which could be easily modified by mixing it with other pigments to create a wide range of shades and hues.
Why should you choose us?
Description: In summary, Venetian red is a dark red pigment made from natural iron oxide. It has a rich history in art and decoration, known for its warm and earthy tone. While synthetic alternatives are now available, Venetian red remains a popular choice for artists and designers seeking a deep and vibrant red color.
This unique design captures the elegance and majesty of Venetian history. The ring is made with high-quality materials and attention to detail, ensuring lasting beauty and unparalleled aesthetic value.
On coins, seals, and other coats of arms and bas-reliefs, traditionally the lion is in moleca (pronounced in moeca) that is, crouched in a frontal position with fan-like wings similar to those of a crab with closed claws.
This was the traditional way in which the Venetian Republic rectified important documents: it is still the symbol of the University of Venice today.
