art bites doges palace fire 2718336

The Doge's Palace in Venice has suffered multiple fires over its history, with the most devastating occurring in 1577. That blaze destroyed the Great Council Chamber, consuming irreplaceable artworks including a 1365 fresco by Guariento di Arpo, portraits of past doges by Titian, and paintings by Tintoretto, Vittore Carpaccio, Pisanello, Bellini, and Paolo Veronese. The fire's cause remains unknown, but its impact was catastrophic due to the chamber's concentration of highly valued Renaissance paintings.
