Detail from the fresco of the Resurrection from the Pareklission of Chora church, Istanbul, Turkey.
"Detail" from the fresco of the Resurrection from the Pareklission of Chora church, a masterpiece of byzantine art, excellent example of the "Pallaeologian Renaissance" Istanbul, Turkey. Chora church (Turkish: Kariye Müzesi, Kariye Camii, or Kariye Kilisesi — the Chora Museum, Mosque or Church) is probably one of the most beautiful museums of Istanbul. It's relatively difficult to find, compared to marvels such as Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi palace, the Basilica Cistern, that are very close the one to the other, but it's an absolute "must see"!!!
