"St. Mark Writing" is an exquisite masterpiece that captivates the essence of artistic brilliance. This remarkable artwork was crafted by the talented Francesco Novelli after his father, P. A. Novelli. As you gaze upon the canvas, you are immediately drawn into a world of profound tranquility. The skillful lines bring to life the iconic figure of St. Mark, the renowned evangelist. His expression is both serene and focused, as if divinely inspired, capturing the essence of his deep connection with the divine. The composition is meticulously arranged, with every element thoughtfully placed to create a harmonious balance. Novelli's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate St. Mark's flowing robes to the delicately rendered feathers of the quill pen in his hand. The textures are rendered with precision, giving the work a sense of tactile realism. There is a text, namely two signatures beneath the image from different angles, read "P.A. Novelli pinx" and "Francesco Novelli inc." There is no text on the reverse side. This is an original print, not a modern reproduction.
