EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St Augustine, depicted in panel H of the North Doors of the Baptistery of San Giovanni. Created by the renowned artist Lorenzo Ghiberti between 1403 and 1424, this bronze sculpture stands at an impressive size of 52x45 cm. The Baptistery itself is located in Florence, Italy, adding to the historical significance of this artwork. St Augustine is widely recognized as a saint and father of the church, known for his profound theological contributions. In this high relief sculpture, he is portrayed sitting majestically as a bishop of Hippo. His scholarly nature is evident through his depiction with a Bible nearby, symbolizing his role as a doctor and interpreter of scripture. The Renaissance influence on Ghiberti's work can be seen in the intricate details and masterful craftsmanship exhibited here. The quatrefoil shape surrounding St Augustine adds an elegant touch to the composition. Capturing every nuance with precision, photographer Raffaello Bencini has expertly preserved this timeless masterpiece for all to admire. This photograph holds immense cultural value as it allows us to appreciate both Ghiberti's artistic genius and St Augustine's significant impact on religious thought.
