EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and intricacy of Byzantine Art in all its glory. The mosaic depicts the Dormition of the Virgin, a poignant scene where Mary lies in bed surrounded by the apostles. In the center, Jesus Christ holds a child in his arms, symbolizing the soul of Mary being reborn in Paradise.
The Nave of the Church of St. Saviour in Chora or Kariye Camii is where this masterpiece can be found, nestled within Istanbul, Turkey. The ancient aura that surrounds this artwork is palpable, drawing viewers into a world of religious devotion and symbolism.
Every detail in this mosaic tells a story - from the halo above Jesus Christ's head to the peaceful expression on Mary's face as she peacefully sleeps in death. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns create an atmosphere of reverence and awe for those who gaze upon it.
Byzantine art has long been revered for its ability to convey spiritual truths through visual means, and this mosaic is no exception. It serves as a reminder of faith, life, death, and rebirth - themes that have resonated with believers for centuries.
This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into another time and place where religion was at the forefront of society. It invites us to contemplate our own beliefs and values while marveling at the skill and craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece.
