Isaia 547

"Isaia," a mosaic created by Byzantine artists in the 6th century, is located in the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. The mosaic depicts the prophet Isaiah seated on a hilltop, holding a book with a Latin inscription. A lion, symbolizing power and strength, stands above him, and a series of small birds inhabit the landscape below. This intricate artwork, a testament to the skill of Byzantine mosaicists, provides a glimpse into the rich religious imagery that characterized the art of the period.
