Torcello - Venice, Italy
Madonna Mosaic



As per Byzantine tradition, Mary is portrayed descending from heaven. The Apostles stand under the Madonna. The inscription along the arch translates: 'I am the Lord and Man, image of the Father and the Mother; from the sinful I am never far, but from the repentant I am ever close'.
