Three Venetian city chamberlains before St. Mark is a 1571 paint by Jacopo Tintoretto, a Mannerism work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
In the painting, three men in ornate robes stand before a figure in a pink shirt and blue pants, who sits on a pedestal with an open book. The men wear red and purple robes with white trim, while the seated figure has a halo above his head. The background features a cloudy sky and a body of water. The men's robes are detailed with intricate patterns, and the seated figure's book appears to be open to a page with text. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of reverence, with the men gazing up at the seated figure.
