This photograph captures a stunning mosaic print titled "Exit of the animals from the Ark and the Spirit of the rainbow, scene from the stories of Genesis". This masterpiece is part of a larger cycle of mosaics located in the central nave of the Cathedral of Monreale. The artwork itself dates back to around 1175-1250 AD, showcasing its rich history and significance. The mosaic depicts a vibrant scene from biblical times, illustrating Noah's ark as animals gracefully exit onto dry land after enduring a great flood. In this awe-inspiring moment, God's presence is symbolized by a magnificent rainbow arching across the sky. The intricate details within each tile showcase Byzantine style artistry at its finest. As we delve deeper into this image, we notice various elements that contribute to its overall grandeur.

It serves as a testament to both his skill as a photographer and his appreciation for ancient art forms. In conclusion, this remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate not only Anderson's talent but also highlights the timeless beauty found within Byzantine art.
