1 Jan 450 Jahr - Mausoleum of Galla Placidia

Beschreibung:

in Ravenna, Italy, built between 425 and 450.[1] It was added to the World Heritage List together with seven other structures in Ravenna in 1996.[2] Despite its common name, the empress Galla Placidia (d. 450) was not buried in the building, a misconception dating from the thirteenth century.

The Lunette of Christ as Good Shepherd over the north entrance is representative of Christian art at this time period in late antiquity.[citation needed] The mosaic represents a transition period between the naturalistic depictions of the classical period in art history and the stylized representations of the medieval period.[citation needed] The forms still have three-dimensional bulk, but the shading such as in the folds of the robes is less refined than in the past, and figures are not very grounded. Elements of realism have been sacrificed for a focus on the spiritual elements
