EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving depicts the City of God as imagined by St. Augustine, with saints at the top who have already been received into heaven. Below them are seven compartments filled with individuals preparing themselves for heaven by exercising Christian virtues or avoiding the Seven Deadly Sins. The intricate details in this 19th-century print capture the essence of religious devotion and spiritual growth. The figures depicted are engaged in acts of piety and righteousness, striving to lead lives worthy of eternal salvation. The artist has skillfully translated a fifteenth-century manuscript illustration by Raoul de Presles into an engraved masterpiece that exudes a sense of divine presence and heavenly grace. Each compartment tells a story of faith, redemption, and moral fortitude, inviting viewers to reflect on their own spiritual journeys. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are reminded of the timeless teachings of Christianity and the importance of living virtuous lives guided by love, compassion, and humility. It serves as a powerful visual reminder that our actions on earth shape our destiny in eternity. Let this engraving inspire us to strive for goodness and seek forgiveness for our sins so that one day we too may join the ranks of saints in the glorious City of God.
