The "mantle cloak" is a recurring motif in various artworks throughout history, symbolizing power, protection, and divine connection. In Madonna with Child and Saints paintings, the mantle cloak drapes gracefully over the figures' shoulders, emphasizing their sacred status. The Plaque with the Stories of Saint Peter from the Second School of Metz showcases intricate carvings depicting scenes from Saint Peter's life, including his martyrdom while wearing a mantle cloak. In Leonardo da Vinci's Study for the folds of the dress of a female figure drawing, he masterfully captures the movement and texture of a mantle cloak using silverpoint and wash techniques. This artwork can be found at Galleria Nazionale d Arte Antica in Palazzo Corsini, Rome. Herod's Banquet episode from the predella of Tabernacle of Holy Sacrament depicts characters adorned in lavish garments with elaborate mantle cloaks. These cloaks not only add grandeur to their appearance but also signify their high social standing. Raphael's drawings at Gallerie dell Accademia in Venice showcase male figures donning mantles that exude elegance and grace. The careful attention to detail highlights Raphael's skillful rendering of fabric folds and textures. Noli Me Tangere painting portrays Jesus Christ post-resurrection wearing a flowing robe-like garment known as a mantle cloak. This depiction signifies his divinity and serves as a reminder that he cannot be touched or restrained by earthly matters. San Zanobi raises a boy from dead artwork found in Codice Edili 107 shows San Zanobi enveloped in an ethereal-looking mantle cloak as he performs this miraculous act. The presence of this garment adds an air of mysticism to the scene. St. John receiving inspiration from Holy Spirit is depicted on Graduale 6B 59 manuscript where St. Gregory stands draped in an ornate mantle cloak symbolizing divine guidance bestowed upon him through the Holy Spirit.
