The Dogaressa Morosina Morosini, wife of doge Grimani

The Dogaressa Morosina Morosini, wife of Doge Marino Grimani, is a late Tintoretto workshop portrait of 1597 depicting the consort of one of Venice's last sixteenth-century doges — Grimani served 1595–1605, making this a portrait that straddles the transition to the seventeenth century. Morosina Morosini-Grimani was a significant figure in Venetian cultural life, famous for the magnificence of her ducal entry ceremony in 1597 and for her patronage of the arts; her portrait by the Tintoretto workshop placed her within the official visual record of the Venetian Republic's first families at the moment of their ascent to the dogeship. The late date and the attribution to the workshop rather than Jacopo himself — he died in 1594 — means this is Domenico Tintoretto's work, continuing his father's portrait tradition for the Republic's highest social circle. The unknown current location of this painting places it among the substantial group of Tintoretto works that have been in private hands rather than public collections, circulating through the art market and known primarily through photographic records and auction histories rather than museum access.

The painting demonstrates the technical command expected of Renaissance painters, with careful attention to compositional structure, tonal modeling, and the rendering of form through light and shadow that characterized the period's artistic achievements.
