"The Lion of St Mark (detail 1), 1516" is a renowned work by Italian painter Vittore Carpaccio, an eminent figure of the Venetian school during the Renaissance. This artwork is part of a series dedicated to the symbol of St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice, and showcases Carpaccio's mastery in capturing religious iconography with vivid detail and symbolic depth. Created in 1516, this piece specifically depicts the lion of St. Mark, an emblem of both the saint and the Republic of Venice, highlighting the city's spiritual and political significance during the Renaissance period.

Carpaccio's work is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the ability to convey profound religious and civic pride through art. "The Lion of St Mark (detail 1)" stands out as a prime example of Carpaccio's skill in blending realism with symbolism, a characteristic feature of the Venetian school's contribution to the Renaissance art movement.
