Doxe

from The Mantegna Tarocchi, c. 1465

The Doge of Venice, in his long cloak and the distinctive horned cap, the corno ducale, standing in profile. The Doge sits above the knight and below the king in this ordering, which is one of the reasons the set has often been tied to Venice, though most scholars now place the engraver in Ferrara. Whoever drew it, he knew exactly what the Doge wore.
