AMONG the crowded Gothic mosaics depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin (Figs. 36–38) which decorate the vault of the Mascoli Chapel in San Marco,50 a representation of the Death of the Virgin (Fig. 39), fully Renaissance in its ordered majesty, appears as a startling intrusion. The discovery of Andreino's presence in Venice we owe to Henry Thode, who had before him no other evidence than that of the young Florentine's style, clearly displayed in this mosaic.
