Description

Image of the mosaic decorations on the ceiling of the Presbytery, Basilica San Vitale (Basilica of St. Vitale; Church of Saint Vitale) in Ravenna, Italy. The central medallion depicts the Lamb of God, encircled by a crown and surrounded by a wreath with fruit. Four triangular segments, each with an angel, have upraised arms to the Lamb. The photo shows the three arched and mullioned windows at the top of the Presbytery and surrounding mosaic decorations.
