Against the Day - page 255 - Mansueto

[Mark Kohut]

Seems this picture is called The Arrest of St Mark from the Synagogue. Perhaps another of TRP's internal resonances as Mark's Gospel---Mark's, long thought to be ( until recently) the oldest Gospel; the one which went----all the way back,---maybe figures later in AtD. 

Islamic individuals and costumes often provided the contextual backdrop to describe an evangelical scene. This was particularly visible in a set of Venetian paintings in which contemporary Syrian, Palestinian, Egyptian and especially Mamluk personages are employed anachronistically in paintings describing Biblical situations.[23] An example in point is the 15th century The Arrest of St. Mark from the Synagogue by Giovanni di Niccolò Mansueti which accurately describes contemporary (15th century) Alexandrian Mamluks arresting Saint Mark in an historic scene of the 1st century CE.[23] Another case is Gentile Bellini's Saint Mark Preaching in Alexandria.[24]
