Eucharist Cycle 1113

The "Eucharist Cycle" is a stunning Byzantine mosaic from 1113 located in the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, Ukraine. This intricate mosaic, typical of the Byzantine style, depicts a scene from the Last Supper with Christ and his disciples. The mosaic is notable for its use of gold tesserae, which creates a shimmering, celestial effect and emphasizes the sacredness of the scene. The figures are stylized and elongated, with expressive faces and elaborate robes, a characteristic of Byzantine art.
