EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The City of God" as depicted in a 15th-century engraving by St. Augustine. The image is divided into multiple enclosures, each representing different aspects of the human journey towards heaven. In the upper enclosure, we witness saints who have been received into heaven, their divine presence emanating from the image. Beneath them lie seven enclosures that depict individuals either preparing themselves for heaven through the practice of Christian virtues or excluding themselves by committing one or more of the seven deadly sins. This intricate illustration beautifully captures the dichotomy between those striving for spiritual growth and those succumbing to temptation. Published in London in 1878 by Paul Lacroix, this piece reflects both medieval artistry and religious beliefs prevalent during that era. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's eternal struggle with sin and its potential redemption through virtuous acts. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction brings out every detail of this historical artwork, allowing us to appreciate its complexity even today. Whether you are a lover of history, theology, or simply admire fine artistry, this print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination and spark contemplation on life's profound questions about morality and salvation.
