Ravenna, Christus Militans, Mosaic, IconologyAbstract
This article aims to present the Christus Militans, mosaic of the archbishop's chapel of Ravenna, a work that attracts attention not only for its beauty, but above all for its theme. This is because, accustomed to the peaceful and saving message of Christ, the reader can be led into estrangement by seeing represented a Christ whose image resemble a soldier. In addition, we intend to discuss the iconological issue and its tradition present in this representation.Downloads
