Three Saints Fresco from Bawit Monastery, Coptic Museum, Cairo

Three Saints Fresco

Coptic Museum, Cairo

The middle saint in this 8th century fresco is inscribed as "Apollo," but this is not the pagan god - it is rather a Christian saint from the lunette of Bawit Monastery. The Coptic Museum in Cairo preserves an important selection of art works like this from late antiquity.
