CARPACCIO, Vittore (b. 1472, Venezia, d. 1526, Capodistria) The Lion of St Mark (detail) 1516 Tempera on canvas Palazzo Ducale, Venice Behind the symbol of St Mark, portrayed in splendid and triumphant isolation, Carpaccio has given us a view of some of the places where the fortunes of the Serenissima had prospered and grown for more than five centuries. In this extraordinary wide-angled view the artist gives us a perfectly detailed depiction of the basin of St Mark's towards San Nicolo di Lido, all the way to the heart of Venice: the Doges' Palace, St Mark's Basilica, the columns of St Theo
