Mosaic
Basilica di San Marco, Venice

The mosaics in the south cupola, or Leonard cupola, dating from the early twelfth century, present no scenic compositions but only a cross on the top and figures of Sts Leonard, Clement, Blasius, and Nicholas. (The female saints in the pendentives are of more recent date).
