Saint Augustine | Philippe de Champaigne | 1650

This painting, titled "Saint Augustine," was created by Philippe de Champaigne around 1650. It depicts Saint Augustine, one of the most influential theologians in Christian history, seated at his writing desk. He is dressed in elaborate ecclesiastical robes, holding a flaming heart in his left hand, symbolizing his intense devotion and love for God. His gaze is directed upward toward a divine light that emanates the word "Veritas" (Truth), representing his pursuit of divine wisdom and truth. The painting showcases Champaigne's skill in rendering detailed textures, such as the rich fabrics and the intricate patterns on the carpet and robe. The overall composition emphasizes Augustine’s role as a scholar and a passionate seeker of truth.
