EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image depicts St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), a seminal figure in both Western Christianity and philosophy. Born in Numidia, North Africa, Augustine is considered one of the most influential theologians and philosophers in the Western world. His writings, which include "Confessions" and "City of God," have had a profound impact on the development of Western thought. Augustine's early life was marked by a restless search for meaning and purpose, which led him through various philosophical and religious pursuits before his conversion to Christianity in his late thirties. His deep introspection and exploration of the human condition are reflected in his famous confessions, which provide a vivid account of his spiritual journey. As a philosopher, Augustine is best known for his contributions to the fields of logic, ethics, and metaphysics. He is credited with developing the concept of original sin and the doctrine of just war, which continue to shape Christian theology and ethical thought today. This print, believed to date from around 620 AD, offers a glimpse into the reverence and veneration that Augustine's legacy inspired in the centuries following his death. The image captures the saint in contemplative prayer, symbolizing his deep spiritual connection to God and his enduring influence on the intellectual and spiritual landscape of the Western world.
