"Portrait of Doge Leonardo Loredan" is a seminal work by the Venetian master Giovanni Bellini, painted in 1501. This oil on poplar panel painting is a striking example of the Venetian portraiture of the Renaissance period, showcasing the Doge of Venice, Leonardo Loredan, who ruled from 1501 to 1521. The portrait is part of the National Gallery's collection in London, having been acquired in 1855.

Bellini, a leading figure of the Venetian school of painting, was known for his pioneering use of oil paint and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of dignity and calm composure. In this portrait, Doge Loredan is depicted in a three-quarter view, wearing his official robes of state. The luxurious textures of his garments and the intricate detailing of the ducal corno (a stiffened linen cap), which is a symbol of his office, are rendered with meticulous attention to detail.

The portrait is celebrated for its lifelike representation and the subtle modeling of light and shade, which was a hallmark of Bellini's mature style. The serene expression and the direct gaze of the Doge create an aura of authority and benevolence, befitting his status as the leader of the Venetian Republic. The use of a parapet, a common device in Renaissance portraiture, provides a sense of depth and reinforces the sitter's presence.

"Portrait of Doge Leonardo Loredan" is not only a testament to Bellini's mastery of portraiture but also an important historical record of the Venetian Republic's political and cultural zenith. The painting is a key example of the Renaissance ideals of individualism and the celebration of influential figures through the medium of art. Its presence in the National Gallery ensures that it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike.
