Palazzo Ducale is an oil painting on plywood panel dated 1947 by Luigi Filippo Tibertelli, who had assumed the pseudonym of Filippo de Pisis and who was staying in Venice in those years after leaving Milan following the first bombings of August 1943. The plate is signed lower right.

In Venice de Pisis, in January of the same year he bought a small building in San Sebastiano where he took up residence the following year. This painting is located in a fruitful period, in which the master devoted himself to the outdoor shooting of numerous views of the city, including the view of the Doge's Palace, presented in its southern facade, towards the basin of San Marco with the presence in front of the column of San Marco, of which he returns, with full-bodied brushstrokes, the statue of the winged lion.

Below is the succession of arcades of the portico on the ground floor of the building, while at the bottom you can see the Ponte della Paglia on which numerous figures move, drawn with small and rapid touches of color, and which give the painting particular liveliness.
