St. Mark’s Cathedral, Venice, 1925
Another one of Friedrich Paneth’s work, this is a picture of St Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy. It is the most famous of the city’s churches and one of the best known examples of Italo-Byzantine architecture. Originally it was the chapel of the Doge, and has only been the city’s cathedral since 1807, when it became the seat of the Patriarch of Venice, archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Venice, formerly at San Pietro di Castello.
