EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning mosaic depicting the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes is a masterpiece of Early Byzantine art, located in the third upper scene of the apse in San Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna, Italy. Dating from around 493 to 526 AD, this mosaic is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the region during the medieval period. The scene illustrates one of the most famous miracles attributed to Jesus Christ, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. In this story, a large crowd of people, mostly men and some women, follow Jesus into a desolate place where they are hungry. Jesus then takes five loaves of bread and two fish, blesses them, and feeds the entire crowd, with baskets of leftovers collected afterwards. The mosaic captures the moment just before the miracle, with Jesus holding out the loaves and fish towards the crowd, surrounded by the curious and expectant faces of the people. The use of horizontal lines and vibrant colors creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer into the interior of the church and transporting them back to a time when miracles seemed possible. San Apollinare Nuovo, located in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, is a testament to the enduring influence of Western European history and the artistic achievements of the Middle Ages. This mosaic, with its intricate details and beautiful colors, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and art of Europe during this period.
