Image description

In this mosaic from the East end South gallery, Virgin Mary stands in between the Emperor John II Comnenus (carrying a donation of purse of gold) and his wife Irene. The Christ Child blesses them. Hagia Sophia was built in 537 as a Greek Orthodox Cathedral and converted to a mosque when the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453. Since 1935 it has been a museum (Unesco World Heritage List, 1985).
