Saint Mark, Marble statue in Orsanmichele, Florence, Italy
This 248-centimeter marble statue represents Saint Mark standing in a natural position against the exterior wall of Orsanmichele church.
The statue was created by Donatello in 1410 for the Linen Weavers Guild and represents an early example of Renaissance sculpture.
The Saint Mark statue demonstrates the mathematical precision and naturalistic approach that characterized the Italian Renaissance art movement.
Located in a niche on the northern exterior wall of Orsanmichele, the statue faces the street at eye level for detailed observation.
The statue introduced new sculptural techniques where the figure appears balanced despite its vertical stance, influencing later Renaissance works.
