Description:
|
mosaics and glass paintings, St. Mark's, Venice; manuscript initial |
Notes: Strictly speaking, this design is not a tessellation because it does not repeat in all directions. However, notice the masterful coloring of the design which produces a three-dimensional effect. Also notice the high level of symmetry in this design extending even to the center of the design.
