EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless moment of devotion and spirituality within the walls of Hagia Sophia, one of the most iconic structures in Constantinople during the 1200s. The image showcases a group of men immersed in prayer, their heads bowed and hands clasped together, seeking solace and connection with the divine. The grandeur of Hagia Sophia's interior is evident as light streams through its magnificent windows, illuminating the space where these faithful individuals gather.
