EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of St. Augustine's ordination as the Bishop of Hippo, beautifully depicted in a study for the decoration in the Invalides. Painted by Louis de Boulogne, the Younger in 1702, this oil on canvas artwork measures 74x49 cm and is currently housed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. In this remarkable piece, we witness St. Augustine being consecrated as bishop with great solemnity and reverence. Dressed in his ecclesiastical robes adorned with intricate details, he stands tall and dignified while holding a ceremonial crozier and wearing a majestic mitre upon his head. The artist skillfully captures the spiritual aura surrounding St. Augustine's ordination ceremony through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail. The vibrant colors bring life to every element of this composition - from the ornate vestments to the delicate features on St. Augustine's face. St. Augustine himself was an influential figure during early Christianity; often referred to as one of its founding fathers. This painting serves as a testament to his significant role within the church and showcases him at a pivotal moment in his religious journey. As we gaze upon this exquisite print, we are transported back in time to witness an important event that shaped both St. Augustine's life and Christian history itself – an image that continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
