Christ and St.Paul (Eucharist Cycle) 1113

"Christ and St. Paul (Eucharist Cycle)" is a 12th-century Byzantine mosaic housed in the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv, Ukraine. The mosaic depicts Jesus Christ offering the Eucharist to Saint Paul, a central theme in early Christian art. The use of gold tesserae (small pieces of glass or stone) for the background creates a sense of divine light, while the figures' stylized forms and flatness of the composition are characteristic of the Byzantine artistic style.
