About this work
Augustine, the 4th-century Church Father, is here shown as bishop. The walled city on a book that he holds in his right hand refers to his influential work De Civitate Dei (The City of God). The book describes the conflict between God’s heavenly city, representing Christianity, and the earthly city of the unbelievers.
