Description

Saint Mark, the patron saint of the Republic of Venice, is depicted on a high throne, surrounded by Saints Cosmas and Damian to the left and Saints Roch and Sebastian to the right. Like Titian's other paintings from these years, it shows the influence of Giorgione, who died young in 1510. [2]
