Description: | The Vision of St Augustine is a full-scale copy of a work by Benvenuto da Tisi, or Garofalo (National Gallery, London, c. 1520, oil on panel, 64.5 x 81.9 cm). The scene shows St Augustine turning away from his treatise on the Holy Trinity to listen to a child trying to empty the sea in a small hole with a spoon. Augustine points out to him that this is an impossible task but the child replies that it is far more foolish for the human mind to try to comprehend the mystery of the Trinity. | Subjects: | St Catherine St Stephen); figure religion (St Augustine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Garofalo, Benvenuto Tisi da (Italian painter, 1481-1559) Æ Attributed to after | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8814... | Go to resource |
