EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century fresco, titled "Saint Augustine is sent by his mother Monique to study in Thagaste" transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in the life of one of Christianity's most influential figures. Painted by Ottaviano Nelli, this masterpiece adorns the walls of the Sant Agostino Church in Gubbio, Italy. The scene depicted here showcases Saint Augustine as a young man dressed in a vibrant blue tunic. Standing before him is his mother Monique, her face filled with both pride and apprehension as she sends her beloved son off on a journey that will shape his destiny. The artist skillfully captures the emotions and tension between parent and child through delicate brushstrokes and vivid colors. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the importance of education and family support. Saint Augustine's quest for knowledge was nurtured by his devoted mother who recognized his potential from an early age. This poignant image serves as a testament to the power of parental love and sacrifice. Nelli's mastery shines through every detail - from the intricate patterns on their garments to the ethereal aura surrounding Saint Augustine's head, symbolizing his sanctity even at such a tender age. This Renaissance-era fresco not only celebrates religious devotion but also highlights human connections that transcend time. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this timeless piece through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we admire this print
