Undergraduate Paper on San Marco, Venice
I researched the Renaissance's impact on Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, a cultural treasure and fascinating historic record dating back to the 10th century.
In the fall of 2023, I had the pleasure of taking Dr. Elizabeth Lisot's Italian Renaissance Art History class as an upper-division elective. As a part of the class, we completed original research in a specific area. I chose Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, which is a cultural treasure and fascinating historic record dating back to the 10th century.
In this paper, I had the opportunity to explore the impact of the Renaissance on the mosaics in the basilica, which is an interesting topic, because mosaics are usually seen as a medieval or Byzantine art form, and not as something a Renaissance master like Titian would be concerned with. In fact, the truth is very different!
