EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of Saint Augustine of Hippo in ecstasy. The saint is depicted fainting as he gazes at a heart-shaped wing engulfed in flames, surrounded by a heavenly host of angels. On the left side of the painting, the dove representing the Holy Spirit hovers gracefully. Painted by Gaspar de Crayer during the 17th century Flemish art movement, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 2.9x1.9 meters and currently resides in the Museum of Fine Arts in Valenciennes, France. The composition beautifully portrays Saint Augustine's spiritual experience, his connection to divine revelation evident through his overwhelmed state and intense focus on the burning wing symbolizing love and passion. The presence of angels further emphasizes his celestial encounter. Gaspar de Crayer's attention to detail and mastery of color bring life to this religious artwork, evoking a sense of awe and wonderment for viewers across generations. The combination of vibrant hues with delicate brushstrokes creates a visually stunning piece that invites contemplation and reflection. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this image with precision, allowing us to appreciate every intricate element within it. This photograph serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and religious devotion, reminding us of Saint Augustine's enduring legacy as one of Christianity's most influential theologians.
