The 1906 caption reads: “Venice was nominally a republic, but all the power gradually fell into the hands of a council of three, who governed the city by secret murder. Any one whom the three marked as dangerous, disappeared without warning and without trace. This is Piloty’s famous picture, showing the grim and aged “Three” examining the proof that one of their victims has been slain, and scornfully paying the blood-money to the assassins.” Piloty (died 1886) was a German painter, noted for his historical subjects, and recognized as the foremost representative of the realistic school in Germa
