EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing mosaic of "St. Mark in ecstasy" a masterpiece created after a cartoon by Titian, located in the renowned St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. The photograph was taken between 1915 and 1920, capturing this exquisite artwork that dates back to 1545. The mosaic itself is an exceptional example of Late Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, representing the rich artistic heritage of Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. Its intricate details and vibrant colors are truly awe-inspiring. In this image, we see St. Mark depicted in a state of profound spiritual rapture or ecstasy—a concept deeply rooted in human psychology and existentialism. Clad in a magnificent chasuble, he stands as an evangelist figure with his hand raised towards the heavens. The artist skillfully portrays both the physicality and spirituality of St. Mark through his detailed rendering of clothing fashion from that era as well as highlighting various parts of his body including hands and even hints at nudity—an exploration into physiological aspects intertwined with religious symbolism. Displayed on a pedestal within the basilica's grand interior space, this mosaic commands attention with its sheer beauty and craftsmanship—testament to the mastery achieved during the late renaissance period. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Alinari Fratelli using textile techniques applied to photography, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Venice's most treasured cultural treasures—the harmonious fusion between artistry and spirituality that continues to inspire generations even today.
