METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART: GALLERIA 506: Bedroom from the Sagredo Palace in Venice, ca. 1718

Speranza

The coat of arms of the Sagredo family hangs in this gallery, above the entrance to the bedroom from the Sagredo palace that once overlooked the Grand Canal in Venice (Gallery 507).

Below, gondola prows flank the doorway.

This gallery also contains a selection of eighteenth-century Italian decorative arts, including religious sculpture in glazed porcelain from Napoli and Firenze, as well as an embroidered chasuble (vestment).
