Sketch from a notebook by Albert M. Friend. MS.BZ.019-03-02-063.
Arrangement of the iconography in the northern arm and dome of the church of the Holy Apostles

This sketch is part of a series of four schemes showing the arrangement of the mosaics in the church. Along with the titles of the scenes, Albert Friend notes relevant biblical passages, as well as iconographic references from middle Byzantine manuscript illumination and monumental painting. These same sources served as models for the dome reconstruction drawings by Paul Underwood (see Iconography).
