Violet Constantinople, I Draw Hagia Sophia, because I love it

Hagia Sophia, is one of the most important monuments of Istanbul and definitely the most emblematic of the Byzantine Era. It is considered the epitome of the Byzantine architecture and one of its most impressive elements is its magnificent dome, with a diameter of 32 meters, standing 52 meters above ground level. The dome seems to be standing on thin air, as there are no columns to support it. During the Ottoman Era it was turned into a mosque and finally it became a museum in the modern Turkish state. Hagia Sophia (St. Sophia) is part of the "Historic Areas of Istanbul", World Heritage Site by UNESCO. EXIF DATA: Focal length: 47mm Aperture: f/14 Shutter speed: 6 sec.

Build in 537AD, the Hagia Sophia has been used as a Greek Orthodox Church, an imperial Mosque, and a museum.

Hagia Sophia (Turkish: Ayasofya, Greek: Αγία Σοφία; "Holy Wisdom", Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral ever built in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between A.D. 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks and Sultan Mehmed II ordered the building to be converted into the Ayasofya Mosque.

Turkey. Istanbul. Hagia Sophia. Deësis mosaic. Detail. The Deësis ('Δέησις' in Greek, meaning Entreaty) mosaic probably dates from 1261. It was commissioned to mark the end of 57 years of Roman Catholic use and the return to the Orthodox faith. It is the third panel situated in the imperial enclosure of the upper galleries. It is widely considered the finest in Hagia Sophia, because of the softness of the features, the humane expressions and the tones of the mosaic. The style is close to that of the Italian painters of the late 13th or early 14th century, such as Duccio. In this panel the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist (Ioannes Prodromos), both shown in three-quarters profile, are imploring the intercession of Christ Pantocrator for h...

Custom made flag-symbol for the Roman Empire/Byzantine Empire/Rhomania inspired by historical symbology. Can also be used as a Christian religious symbol.

No other symbol manifests the idea of an empire better than the two-headed eagle, and no other empire shaped these ideas into reality better than the Roman Empire. I present to you a magnificent specimen of a golden feathered eagle, bearing on its chest the symbol of the last ruling dynasty - the Paleologos. Glory, splendor, and prestige will befall the person proudly wearing this glorious bird on his or her chest... This, as well as enormous spendings on bird food, as two-headed eagles, because of reasons completely unknown to us, have twice the apetite for all kinds of snacks. The imperial right to rule is, after all, the right to rule the world, but what is the point of all that power if one cannot get his favourite snack?

Turkey. Istanbul. Hagia Sophia. Interior. Hagia Sophia is one of the greatest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Of great artistic value was its decorated interior with mosaics and marble pillars and coverings. The temple itself was so richly and artistically decorated that emperor Justinian proclaimed, "Solomon, I have outdone thee!" (Νενίκηκά σε Σολομών). Justinian himself had overseen the completion of the greatest cathedral ever built up to that time, and it was to remain the largest cathedral for 1,000 years up until the completion of the cathedral in Seville in Spain. Justinian's basilica was at once the culminating architectural achievement of late antiquity and the first masterpiece of Byzantine architecture. Its inf...
