The artwork is titled “Mosaic at the Church of St. Mark, Cortona, Italy” and is created by Gino Severini. It belongs to the Cubism art movement and falls under the genre of religious painting.
The artwork exhibits a cubist style, characterized by abstract geometric shapes and forms. It portrays a religious figure, presumably St. Mark, depicted with a halo around his head, highlighting his sanctity. The mosaic technique used by Severini incorporates vibrant colors and intricate patterns, creating a visually striking effect. St. Mark is shown holding a book with Latin script, alluding to his contribution to the Gospel. Additionally, an iconic symbol of a lion, associated with St. Mark, is depicted prominently at his feet. The backdrop includes architectural elements, likely representing the Church of St. Mark itself, further situating the mosaic in its religious and historical context.
