Pretty sure one of the frescoes in the first location is very famous (around 1:09) - I think I've seen lots of copies of it, possibly in churches over the years
It's quite possible! Though that motif of Jesus with the halo and square cross is known as "Christ Pantokrator" and is a very common theme in Byzantine artwork.
World Heritage Journey Since my knowledge of Art is abysmal I just looked up that term. There is a very similar image in Hagia Sofia which is the one I'm probably thinking of
Are you familiar with the Longobard (or Lombard) kingdom? What did you think?
Interesting. Thanks very much
You're welcome, thanks for watching! It was a fascinating period of history that I knew very little about before visiting!
