A Hagiografia e Santo Agostinho na Pintura
Após publicar uma citação de Agostinho em meu último post, fiquei pensando nas imagens que o retratam, pintadas ao longo dos séculos. Poucos homens têm sido tão retratados nas artes quanto Aurelius Augustinus (354-430), o “Santo Agostinho de Hipona”. A seguir, as poucas pinturas que selecionei, sendo a maioria da Renascença e do Barroco. Várias destas pinturas retratam um Agostinho muito distante do que foi realmente o grande pensador na época da queda de Roma. A arte vai muito além do mero retrato, não obstante. Santo Agostinho, Piero della Francesca [early Italian Renaissance., c. 1420–1490], c. 1465, Têmpera sobre madeira de choupo, A 133 x L 59,5 cm, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisboa St Augustine, Vincenzo Foppa, 1465-70, [Italian Early Renaissance Painter, ca.1430-1515], Wood panel, Castello Sforzesco, Milan St. Augustine, by Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510), 1480, fresco, 152 cm × 112 cm (60 in × 44 in), church of Ognissanti, Florence.
