Emphasizing that the saint is not a singular biographical individual in the various biblical and hagiographic texts that involve someone so named, the book takes as its ultimate concern the kinds of material life that outlive the human subject.From the incommensurate, anachronic instances in which Saint Mark can be located?among them, as Evangelist or as patron saint of Venice?the book traces Mark?s afterlives within art, sacred texts, and literature in conversation with such art historians and philosophers as Aby Warburg, Giorgio Agamben, Georges Didi-Huberman, T. J. Clark, Adrian Stokes, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Goldberg begins in sixteenth-century Venice, with a series of paintings by Gentile and Giovanni Bellini, Tintoretto, and others, that have virtually nothing to do with biblical texts. He turns then to the legacy of John Ruskin?s Stones of Venice and through it to questions about what painting does as painting. A final chapter turns to ancient texts, considering the Gospel of St. Mark together with its double, the so-called Secret Gospel that has occasioned controversy for its homoerotic implications.The posthumous persistence of a life is what the gospel named Mark calls the Kingdom of God. Saints have posthumous lives; but so too do paintings and texts. This major interdisciplinary study by one of our most astute cultural critics extends what might have been a purely theological subject to embrace questions central to cultural practice from the ancient world to the present. 606 $aArt$xPsychology 610 $aHomoeroticism. 610 $aMateriality. 610 $aPainting and writing. 610 $aSaint Mark. 610 $aVenetian Renaissance painting. 615 0$aArt$xPsychology. 676 $a701/.15 700 $aGoldberg$b Jonathan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0251465 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793006003321 996 $aSaint Marks$93866518 997 $aUNINA
