Reliëf van twee heiligen en engelen van de San Marco in Venetië before 1885

This photograph, taken by Carl Heinrich Jacobi before 1885, captures a relief sculpture depicting two saints and angels from the San Marco in Venice. The central figures, a male and female saint, are placed within an elaborate archway, surrounded by a frame filled with smaller figures and intricate ornamentation. The detailed carving and the serene expressions of the figures suggest a devotional purpose, likely intended for religious contemplation. Jacobi's photographic documentation of this artwork provides valuable insight into the artistry and religious practice of the time, capturing a moment in time that would otherwise be lost to history.
