EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "St Augustine with his mother St Monica" beautifully captures the essence of a profound bond between a mother and her son. Created by Ary Scheffer in 1855 (1926), this artwork is part of the volume 2 collection called "Builders of the Church" from An Outline of Christianity: The Story of Our Civilization. In this image, we see St Augustine and his mother St Monica standing outside, their hands gently clasped together as they look up with reverence. Dressed in vibrant robes that symbolize their devotion to Roman Catholicism, both figures exude an air of tranquility and spirituality. The artist skillfully portrays the historical significance behind these revered religious figures while emphasizing the importance of family ties within Christian faith. St Augustine's clean-shaven face reflects his role as a prominent theologian during the 4th century, known for shaping Christian doctrine. Through this painting, Ary Scheffer invites us to contemplate not only the deep connection between mother and son but also the enduring power of faith throughout history. It serves as a reminder that religion can provide solace and guidance even in tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our own familial bonds and encouraged to reflect on how love and devotion can shape our lives just as it did for St Augustine and St Monica centuries ago.
