About the piece
Painted around 1700 by Carlo Cignani, this work captures Saint Augustine in a moment of divine inspiration. Clad in an ornate miter and a golden cope, the saint is depicted with masterful chiaroscuro—a hallmark of the Bolognese school—while a youthful angel presents an open book and a crosier.
