Donatello’s Saint Mark (1411–1413) is a marble statue that stands approximately seven feet and nine inches high in an exterior niche of the Orsanmichele church Florence. Donatello was commissioned by the linen weavers’ guild to complete three pieces for the project. St. Mark was the first of his contributions. The niche itself was not of Donatello’s hand but created most probably by two stone carvers named Perfetto di Giovanni and Albizzo di Pietro.
