Asset Overview

"... The medieval sculpture of the Drunkenness of Noah forms part of the south-eastern corner of the Palazzo Ducale and may be the work of Filippo Calendario (d. 1355), who was one of its architects. The placing of almost life-size figures (Adam and Eve are depicted on the south-western corner) on the corners of a building was without precedent, either in Venice or elsewhere... The sculpture cleverly uses the two sides of the corner to dramatise (with a little license) this aspect of the story. Noah is depicted drunk on one side, while two of his sons are depicted on the other. We see a hand slipping surreptitiously round the corner to cover up the father's nakedness."
