Created by renowned artists Pietro Muttoni, known as della Vecchia, this artwork showcases the fusion of Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles that defined Europe during the First and Second Millennium A. D. Dating back to 1674, this mosaic depicts an extraordinary event from Venetian history - the daring heist of St. Mark's body. The image transports us to a time when Venice was at its zenith as a maritime power and center for artistry. Within this intricate composition, we see various elements symbolizing both civilian and military aspects of society.

The central figure steals our attention; his regal attire suggests religious significance while also showcasing fashionable clothing trends of the era.
