"The Venetians Asking the Deliverance of St Mark's Corpse" is a significant historical painting created around 1846 by the Hungarian artist Mihály Kovács. This artwork is a notable example of 19th-century European history painting, a genre that sought to depict historical events with dramatic intensity and meticulous detail. Kovács, who was born in 1818 and became a prominent figure in Hungarian art, is known for his ability to capture the emotional and narrative depth of historical and religious scenes.

The painting portrays a dramatic moment from the life of St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice. According to legend, after St. Mark's death, his body was buried in Alexandria, Egypt. In the 9th century, Venetian merchants supposedly smuggled his remains out of Alexandria and brought them to Venice, where they were interred in what would become St. Mark's Basilica. Kovács' painting captures the fervent plea of the Venetians for the deliverance of St. Mark's corpse, emphasizing the religious and cultural significance of this event for the Venetian people.

Kovács employs a rich color palette and dynamic composition to convey the urgency and devotion of the Venetians. The figures are depicted with expressive gestures and faces, highlighting their desperation and reverence. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures and the sacred relic.

This painting not only reflects Kovács' technical skill and artistic sensibility but also his interest in historical and religious themes. It stands as a testament to the 19th-century fascination with historical narratives and the power of art to evoke emotional and spiritual responses. "The Venetians Asking the Deliverance of St Mark's Corpse" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Mihály Kovács and a valuable piece of cultural heritage.
