Andrea Vendramin Totally Explained

Everything about Andrea Vendramin totally explained

Andrea Vendramin (1393 - May 5, 1476, both Venice) served as Doge of Venice, 1476-78, at the height of Venetian power, the only member of the Vendramin family to do so. His mother was Maria Michiel, and his wife Regina Gradenigo. He had served as Venetian Procurator in Rome, and his brief reign was largely concerned with the end of the war with the Turks. He probably died of plague. The process of hhis election as Doge resulted in a divisive split in the Council, that resulted in bad feelings: in 1477 Antonio Feleto was imprisoned, then banished, for remarking in public that the Council of the Forty-One must have been hard-pressed to elect a cheesemonger Doge, He has a large monumental wall-tomb in the basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, the usual burial-place of Doges, which was executed by Tullio Lombardo (1493), though Andrea del Verrocchio competed for the commission. It was originally intended for the church of Santa Maria dei Servi. However the portrait in the Frick Collection by Gentile Bellini, inscribed with his name, is now considered to be of his successor, Doge Giovanni Mocenigo.
After Andrea's death, his widow married his brother, Luca.
