Description and history The altarpiece consists of two parts. The lower part, with Vitreous enamel enamel s illustrating the story of Saint Mark , the doge s portrait, and the Pantocrator group, originated as an antependium commissioned by the doge Ordelafo Faliero from the court craftsmen of Constantinople in 1102. The image of Archangel Michael and the whole upper third are supposed to have been looted by the Crusaders in Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade of 1204 . In 1343, the Doge Andrea Dandolo ordered both parts to be joined within a single Gothic framework featuring as many as 1,927 gems. The pala from Latin palla , cloth was to be covered by Paolo Veneziano s wooden altarpiece and opened to the astonished public during liturgies only. In the 15th century, Veneziano s exterior altarpiece was replaced by a wooden panel which remains today, though the Pala is now always open.
