Although he is well known through Verdi's opera and Byron's play, this is the first complete biography of Foscari, doge of Venice from 1423 to 1457. These tumultuous years saw him dealing with vengeful enemies, family heartbreak and, finally, the forced relinquishment of the ducal throne. Dennis Romano examines the documentary evidence for these events but also focuses on the intersection of art and power in the architectural monuments which reveal the personality and policies of 'one of the great tragic figures in history'.
