That same mosaic appears in the first post of this thread. It's brilliant, the shimmering color borrows from French Impressionism. It's also a great illustration of how much better our cameras have gotten. I'd like to reshoot this, S. Vitale in Ravenna, but the light was probably exceptional that afternoon.

Yes ~ what Htmb said about the light!
If the makers of that church were trying to depict Heaven, they surely succeeded.
Gorgeous picture, Fumobici.

Wonderful mosaics. It's terrible to think of how many places were not so lucky and were just demolished.

I should have given credit to the mosaicist, Isidore Odorico, and the stained glass artist, Auguste Alleaume.

The pictures are wonderful. I particularly love that motif of the repeated parallel deep blue vertical lines with their gold embellishments.
On a less positive note, as someone who is squeamish about certain things, all I can think of looking at all that grouted space is how much athletes foot and other horrors could lurk in that public space.

Beautiful! I love the natural colors and the contrast between the perfectly executed patterns and the surrounding random pieces.
