Created by an unknown artist, this piece is a testament to the rich heritage of Byzantium and its profound influence on art and Christianity. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this masterpiece. The vibrant blue background serves as a striking canvas for the golden cloisonné enamel work that adorns Saint Peter's robe.
