A garbed warrior, a man in a mantle and three doges kneeling before the enthroned St Mark 1556 - 1629

This drawing by Antonio Aliense, created between 1556 and 1629, depicts a scene with St. Mark enthroned. The drawing shows a garbed warrior kneeling before the saint while three doges watch, symbolizing the power and authority of the Venetian Republic. The drawing, now housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, is a beautiful example of Venetian Renaissance art, showcasing the detailed lines and expressive figures characteristic of the period. The use of chiaroscuro, with light and shadow creating volume, adds depth to the composition, enhancing the drama of the scene.
