The Dream of St. Mark

Inspired by TheApparition of Christ to St. Mark from the Pala d’Oro, the The
Dream of St. Mark is a mosaic that expands on the original message of
Christ to St. Mark. This piece of
artwork expanded the message to “Hic requiescet corpus tuum” which sanctioned
Venice as the final resting place for St. Mark.
This mosaic, therefore, created the notion of praedestinatio (Rosand,
Myths of Venice, 2,51).
