In 1355 Doge Marin Falier was executed following an attempt to increase his powers and establish his family as hereditary leaders, the last attempt to attack the principle of rule by the Senate and Councils. In the series of dogal portraits in the Hall of the Maggior Consiglio, Falier is conspicuously absent, his place forever shrouded in a black cloth, **with no likeness beneath**.

Est-ce une façon de redire que son portrait n'y est pas, pas même sous le tissu noir ? Je ne comprends pas bien.
Merci !
