More about Golden Serenity: A Byzantine Landscape (thanks Charlie145)

A painting in Byzantine art style of a golden background and deep blue bodies of water, depicting a wide mountainous landscape with a river flowing through it, a cloaked figure with a halo seated on a sandy hill to the right of the painting while smaller trees and bushes surround him. In the middle of the painting is a tall, slender tree with dark green foliage. In the middle ground, on either side of the body of water, are lush green trees and what appear to be human constructions such as a small building with an archway. The sky is golden, with several small dark blue clouds and five distinctively outlined, flying birds. Two trees appear to be barren and dry without leaves and to the far left. The water is a dark, deep blue color, with some areas appearing to reflect the golden sky creating a shimmering effect. In the far distance, more mountains can be seen under the golden horizon.
