The *Erzbischöfliche Kapelle* is a stunning mosaic artwork dating back to 425 CE located in the Archbishop’s Chapel in Ravenna, Italy. It is a prime example of Byzantine art, renowned for its intricate details and vibrant colors. The mosaic depicts Christ surrounded by the four Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, each within a circular frame. The depiction of Christ in the center, adorned with a nimbus and cross, highlights his divine authority. The mosaic's background is a vibrant blue dotted with gold stars, signifying the heavenly realm. The intricate details of the mosaic, including the swirling patterns and the expressive faces of the figures, showcase the mastery of Byzantine mosaicists.
