A large oil painting of Doge Pietro Loredan Beseeching the Virgin for the end of the famine and victory over the Turks was painted by Venetian artist Jacopo Palma il Giovane (Jacopo di Antonio Negretti) in 1595. Beside is a large gold gilded wall clock with a blue face engraved with surrounding birth signs at the Sala del Senato (Senate Chamber) in the Doge’s Palace in Venice in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The Sala del Senato was designed by Antonio Da Ponte who was chief architect on rebuilding the Ducal Palace that was badly damaged by fire in 1574. The decorated hall was completed in the 1580s by Venetian-born painter Jacopo known as ‘Tintoretto’. The ceiling was designed and completed in 1581 by Cristoforo Sorte. The Sala del Senato was where the Venetian Senate (formally the Consiglio dei Pregadi) gathered.
