<span>I believe the correct answer is “The Transfiguration Mosaic at Sant'Apollinare in Classe” 6th century (year 549)</span>

 

“The Transfiguration Mosaic at Sant'Apollinare in Classe” is a mosaic which represents the decoration of the apse of Basilica of Sant' Apollinare in Classe, dating to 6th century. The mosaic can be divided into two parts:

1. Crux Gemmata (jeweled cross with engraved picture of transfigured Jesus Christ and his followers)

2. Saint Apollinaris praying to the God in a green valley with rocks, bush, plants and birds.

 

This artwork has many Biblical symbols. It represents the transfiguration of Jesus Christ, a complete change of form or appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state, under the Hand of God. On the sides of the arch are shown palms and under them are the archangels Michael and Gabriel. These symbols represent justice. Under them, figure of Saint Apollinaris is portrayed in the act of praying God to give grace to his faithful. He is surrounded by 12 white lambs which symbolize 12 Apostles.

In Early Byzantine art, every color had a symbolic meaning complementing the religious scene. In this mosaic the colors used are: gold (representing the radiance of God), red (representing love), green (the color of nature, life) and blue (everlasting world, heaven).
