St. Mark's : The Art and Architecture of Church and State in Venice / edited by Ettore Vio ; translation Huw Evans

New York : Riverside Book Co. c2003

Abstract: No church in the West quite compares to St. Mark's in Venice, with its distinctive merging of aspects Eastern and Western, of church and state, of symbolic form and liturgical function. This book introduces readers to an extraordinary building through a combination of authoritative text and spectacular photographs. Each of three general sections ("History and Society," "Architecture and Sculpture," "Mosaics and the Treasury") contains general essays augmented by brief focused discussion of specific objects or themes. More than 250 images provide a rare at details ranging from the tessellated floor through the tombs, marbles, altarpieces, mosaics, sculptures, and treasury objects.
