Murano Italy circa 1950
The light was published in the French publication Mobilier Décoration in its 34th year, Issue number 2 – 1954
Venetian tradition states that when Mark the Evangelist was traveling through Europe, he arrived at a lagoon in Venice, whereby an angel appeared to him and said, “Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus. Hic requiescet corpus tuum.” (“Peace be with thee, O Mark, my evangelist. Here thy body will rest.”) This tradition was used as justification by Rustico da Torcello and Bon da Malamocco in 828 for stealing the remains of Mark from his grave in Alexandria, and moving them to Venice, where they were eventually interred in the Basilica of St. Mark.
