  • San Clemente, marble mosaic floor by the four brothers, known as the Cosmati from their father Cosmatus, between 1190 and 1235.

  • Front panel of Donatello's cantoria, manipulated in Photoshop to correct perspective so that the figures can be examined more closely.  The exuberant figures, probably at least designed if not wholly worked by Donatello himself (my opinion), are tucked behind a row of columns studded with mosaic.  The repetitive ornament above and below was undoubtedly finished by his workshop.
