Tue, 21 Mar 2006 00:30
This Byzantine mosaic from the 14th century is on the first floor of Ayasofya. It represents the Christ, and on the right, the writing "Οαγιος Ιω." refers the Apostle John.
Cette mosaic bizantine du 14éme sciècle est au premier étage de Sainte Sophie. Elle représente le Christ, et sur la gauche, le texte "Οαγιος Ιω." se réfère à l'Apôtre Saint Jean.

Your photos are phenomenal in quality and and angles used! I just came back from Istanbul, having spent 10 days with focus on mosaic icons, and cannot wait to go back for more. These shots put me right back there, thank you!

Thank you very much for the correction! I have corrected the description changing "St. John the Baptist" to "the Apostle John"
