mosaic of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child above an ornate chandelier that is shaped like a smiley face
Momentmosaic of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child above an ornate chandelier that is shaped like a smiley face. The mosaic is located on the facade of the Naval Cathedral of Saint Nicholas in Kronstadt, Russia. The mosaic is made of small, colorful tiles and depicts the Virgin Mary with her hand extended, holding the Christ Child. The chandelier is made of dark metal and has two circular discs that resemble eyes, and a curved bar that forms a smile. The chandelier is hanging from a chain and is illuminated by several light bulbs. The background is a dark opening, possibly an entrance to a building. The overall scene suggests a juxtaposition of religious art and decorative architecture.
