Saint Mark (Tzanes)

Emmanuel replaced Greek painter Philotheos Skoufos as the priest of San Giorgio dei Greci.

Venetian masters Titian and Tintoretto both created paintings of Saint Mark.

The church stands as an emblem of Saint Mark and the traditional Greek Italian Byzantine style.

Two prominent greek painters affiliated with St Mark's Basilica were Thomas Bathas and Nikolaos Philanthropinos.

Both The Last Supper and the Wedding at Cana featured tiled floors in a similar manner.

The floor allows viewers to visually establish the foreground, the middle ground, and the background.
