A reader of my blog on heraldry has asked for my assistance in identifying a coat of arms. After going through my armorials and ordinaries (well, in the time that I had to do that this weekend), I was unable to make any identification. I asked his permission, and having received it, am now out here in the hopes that more eyes looking at it will help us to find out whose arms these are. A picture of the arms, and a little more background on them and the search I've made, can be found on-line at: http://blog.appletonstudios.com/2013/03/a-request-for-assistance.html
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.

Success!
A correspondent has been able to identify the arms that I had asked for help with. Several people had found similar arms, but someone was able to find a matching coat. The identification, with a couple of emblazons as well as all of the sources, has been posted on my blog at http://blog.appletonstudios.com/2013...t-of-arms.html
Thank you all for your assistance! I've been able to successfully report back to my original inquiry.

Indeed it does! I don't know what's wrong with the link I posted; it should have taken you to the correct page. (Then again, as far as I know, the intertubes work by magic!)

By the way, here's the man himself, painted by Titian, hanging in the National Gallery of Art, Washington:
Andrea Gritti, Doge of Venice, 1523-38.
Always nice to be able to put a face with the coat of arms.
