Saints Augustine and Monica
Artist: Ary Scheffer (Dutch, 1795 - 1858)
Original Dimensions: 53 1/4" x 41 1/4"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (1854) "In 1845 Ary Scheffer painted an episode recounted by Saint Augustine in his Confessions. The Church Father recalled sitting with his mother Monica shortly before her death and discussing the kingdom of heaven. The picture, for which Scheffer used his own mother as the model for Saint Monica, became very popular, and in 1854 he painted this version, using a previous portrait sitter, Mrs Robert Hollond, for Monica. Scheffer’s portrait of Mrs Hollond is also in the National Gallery’s collection. The artist was known for the expressiveness of his compositions and he created an image of eloquent simplicity in which the holy mother and son sit side-by-side and hand-in-hand staring contemplatively towards heaven whose light bathes them in a sunset glow. He made a picture that is both an image of divine mystery and a portrayal of the love between a mother and son." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
