Seated among piles of leather-bound books and ink-stained parchments, the wise and knowledgeable old scholar carefully studies the works of the past, learning from them and copying them to preserve the knowledge of days gone by for the learners of the future.
When Constantinople fell in 1453, Byzantine scholars who had preserved and studied the ancient Greek and Roman classics for years were forced to flee to other parts of Europe, such as Italy and France. This reintroduction of the ancient works is what rekindled European appreciation for classical thought and art and started the Renaissance.
My very quickly built entry to the Byzantium Contest. This was a fun build, took me less than a day, which is pretty fast for me! Thanks for looking!
Soli Deo Gloria!

The dark brown/red works well here, and that panel technique is a fresh change from the traditional tile + headlights!

The 2x2 round columns with arches look fabulous. Lovely scene
John 14:6, Jesus answered, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
