Re: Hagia Sophia
The mosaics are considered to be some of the finest examples of Byzantine art in the world. I actually used some of them as inspiration and springboards for a eries of artworks I did several years ago. If interested in this style, check out the works in the cathedral in Ravenna, Italy, particularly the work entitled 'Justinian and his Attendants'.
