The Japanese manga "Anna Komnena," which depicts the life of Anna Komnena, has finally been completed. It is grateful that I can now read the specialist books and manga that describe her life in Japanese, as well as the books written by her and her husband.

This is huge.
This stunning fresco probably shows one of the most famous figures from the long Roman Empire history - the last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI Dragases Palaiologos!
Recently discovered during renovations of the Taxiarchon Monastery in Aigialeia.

The apse mosaic at S. Apollinare Nuovo in Classe / Ravenna is one of my all time faves. A rendering of a paradisical landscape that is rooted in realistic natural features, colours and textures. All the Ravenna mosaics are great, but this never fails to blow my mind. #byzantinebluesky #mosaics #art
