This photograph captures the grandeur of the Basilica of S. Marco in Venice, showcasing its iconic iconostasy flanked by two pulpits. The image transports us back to the XIV century when these magnificent structures were reconstructed using older materials. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly the polychromatic marble iconostasy, adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. Created by renowned artists Jacopo and Pierpaolo delle Masegne, it stands as a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. This masterpiece holds a significant place within Christian religion, symbolizing devotion and spirituality. Surrounded by the pulpit on either side, this scene exudes an aura of reverence and solemnity. These pulpits also date back to the XIV century reconstruction but feature elements from earlier periods, adding layers of historical significance to their design.
