DescriptionChrist Pantocrator mosaic from Hagia Sophia 2240 x 3109 pixels 2.5 MB.jpg |
English: Detail of a marvelous mosaic of Christ from the Hagia Sophia in Instanbul. It is the central figure of the so called Deësis mosaic (Δέησις, "Entreaty") which probably dates from a relatively late 1261. It is considered by many to be the finest mosaic in Hagia Sophia. It is also unusually realistic for a byzantine work. Observe for example the depiction of single strands of hair on the beard or of the shadow that falls across Christ's throat.
This is a large and well detailed image, even though I took it with a point and shoot camera. It captures well the physical medium of the mosaic. I believe but only from memory, that the colors are quite realistic too. Español: Maravilloso mosaico de Cristo en la iglesia (ahora museo) de Santa Sofía en Estambul. Es la figura central del llamado Deisis mosaico (Δέησις, "Súplica"), que data probablemente de un relativamente reciente 1261. Es considerado por muchos como el más fino mosaico en Santa Sofía. También, siendo una obra byzantina, es inusualmente realista. Observe, por ejemplo, la detallada representación de los pelos en la barba, o la sombra que cae a través de la garganta de Cristo.
Esta es una grande y detallada imagen, a pesar de que me lo tomé con una sencilla cámara. Captura bien el medio físico del mosaico. Creo, pero sólo de la memoria, que los colores son bastante realistas también. Ελληνικά: Θαυμάσιο μωσαϊκό του Χριστού από την Αγία Σοφία στην Κωνσταντινούπολη. Είναι το κεντρικό πρόσωπο του λεγόμενου μωσαϊκού της Δέησης, και χρονολογείται πιθανότατα από το σχετικά πρόσφατο 1261. Θεωρείται από πολλούς ως η καλύτερη μωσαϊκό στην Αγία Σοφία. Επίσης, είναι ασυνήθιστα ρεαλιστικό για μια βυζαντινή εργασία. Παρατηρήστε για παράδειγμα την απεικόνιση των τριχών στα γένια, καθώς και τη σκιά που πέφτει στο λαιμό του Χριστού.
Πρόκειται για μια μεγάλη και αναλυτική εικόνα, παρόλο που την πήρα με μια απλή φωτογραφική. Αποδίδει καλά το φυσικό μέσο του ψηφιδωτού. Πιστεύω, αλλά μόνο εκ μνήμης, ότι τα χρώματα είναι αρκετά ρεαλιστικά. |
