mosaics in apse of Sant'Apollinare in Classe

The Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe is a church in Ravenna in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Dating back to the 6th century, its decoration is an example of Byzantine art.

 

In particular the mosaics are particularly beautiful, such as those in the apse as seen here, which depict Saint Apollinaris praying in the presence of his 'flock' - literally 12 white lambs.
