Ravenna Basilica San Vitale
|
| |
 |
 |
 |
|
| This octagonal domed church dates from the mid-6th century. The mosaics inside - in brilliant greens and golds, lit by light from translucent panels - are among the most celebrated in the Western world. Covering the apse is a mosaic of a clean-shaven Christ astride the world, flanked by saints and angels. To the right is a mosaic of Empress Theodora and her court, and to the left is the figure of the man who married this courtesan, Emperor Justinian, and his entourage. |
