| Head of a black man holding up the tomb of Doge Giovanni Pesaro, designed by Baldassare Longhena, 1665-69. In the defence of Candia (modern Herakleion), the Venetians defeated the Ottomans at sea and African galley slaves were among their prisoners. Basilica of the Frari |
The image comes from JMSmith, who took the photo in Venice. The caption comes from a book review of Monumenti dei Dogi: sei secoli di scultura a Venezia in The Art Newspaper. The images are different, but I am certain they are of both photos of the same sculpture. The book is in Italian, costs about 70 Euros and is available from Amazon. Another book also has a picture of this same sculpture.
