Ravenna- San Vitale -Capitello bizantino

Ravenna- San Vitale -Capitello bizantino
San Vitale riflette modi e gusti bizantini anche nelle lastre di pietra traforate (intagliate e decorate con stilizzati motivi vegetali, pavoni e colombe) e soprattutto nei capitelli a cesto, forse scolpiti direttamente a Costantinopoli, riccamente traforati come tessuti ricamati e dotati di pulvini a intaglio, ornati da figure zoomorfe e dalla croce.
-----------------------------------------------
San Vitale also reflects Byzantine manners and tastes in the perforated stone slabs (carved and decorated with stylised plant motifs, peacocks and doves) and above all in the basket capitals, perhaps carved directly in Constantinople, richly perforated like embroidered fabrics and equipped with carved pulvinas, adorned with zoomorphic figures and the cross.
