Mosaic, St Mark's Basilica, Venice, Italy

Christ in Glory from the Last Judgement mosaic, with Christ in heaven holding the cross, with angels, the Virgin and St John the Baptist, 1836, by Lattanzio Querena, over the main portal of Western facade of St Mark's Basilica, or Basilica San Marco, Venice. This 19th century copy replaces the original mosaic which was destroyed by fire. The basilica was consecrated 1084-1117 and was originally the chapel of the Doge, becoming the city's cathedral in 1807. The city of Venice is an archipelago of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon. The historical centre of Venice is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
