EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St Augustine of Hippo, a prominent figure in the early Christian church. Created by Hartmannus Schedel in 1493 as part of the Liber chronicarum mundi (Nuremberg Chronicle), it beautifully captures the essence of this revered saint. St Augustine, born in 350 and passing away in 430, played a significant role in shaping Christian theology and philosophy. In this woodcut portrait, we see St Augustine adorned in his bishop's robes and mitre, symbolizing his esteemed position as Bishop of Hippo in North Africa. Standing beside him is his son, representing the importance of family ties even for those dedicated to religious pursuits. The image evokes a sense of reverence and devotion as both father and son engage in prayer. It serves as a reminder that faith can be passed down through generations, strengthening familial bonds while deepening spiritual connections. Hartmannus Schedel's artistry brings forth rich colors that enhance the regality of their attire against an African backdrop. This portrayal not only honors St Augustine but also celebrates African heritage within Christianity. As we admire this remarkable print from Heritage Images' collection without commercial intent, we are reminded of St Augustine's enduring legacy as one who contributed greatly to Christian literature and theological thought during the fourth and fifth centuries.
