What are Alexander the Great and three Knights with a falcon doing under the domes of St. Mark’s Basilica, above the Evangelist’s sacellum, among the Angels and Saints of the Golden Pall? An intense journey through the history of images to reconstruct the meaning of these ‘profane’ enamel plaques placed in the lower frame of the Golden Pall and in the context of the Venice of Doge Andrea Dandolo.
