Peopled with hundreds and figures Adam and Eve, Noah and his progeny, Isaiah, Christ, Mark, of course, and other holy men and women of these mosaics create a cosmic panorama. The Mosaic Decoration of San Marco, Venice brings these unrivaled mosaics into breathtaking focus, combining a descriptive history of their creation and repair over the ages with close-up photographs revealing their iconographic detail.
