@elienmusk: Baptism of Christ Dome mosaic, late 5th–early 6th century AD Baptistery of the Arians, Ravenna, Italy A masterpiece of early Byzantine mosaic art. At the center: Jesus baptized in the River Jordan by John the Baptist, with the Holy Spirit descending as a dove and the hand of God the Father blessing from above. The Twelve Apostles encircle the scene, each holding a crown of martyrdom; symbolizing the victory of faith. Built under Ostrogothic King Theodoric (an Arian Christian), this baptistery is one of the best-preserved examples of early Christian mosaic work in Ravenna, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Human-driven. Grok Assisted. #History #art #bible #painting #italy
