Mosaic, St Mark's Basilica, Venice, Italy
The Recovery of the body of St Mark in Alexandria in 828 AD, mosaic on a portal tympanum on the main facade of St Mark's Basilica, or Basilica San Marco, Venice. The mosaic shows 2 Venetian merchants travelling in Egypt, who obtained the relics of St Mark from priests at the church of St Mark, and brought them back to Venice in a ship. The basilica was consecrated 1084-1117 and was originally the chapel of the Doge, becoming the city's cathedral in 1807. The city of Venice is an archipelago of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon. The historical centre of Venice is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
