Images of Augustine
This is the oldest surviving portrait of Augustine, The best attempt to document the iconographic history of Augustine's
reputation is now Schnaubelt and Van Fleteren, Augustine in
Iconography: History and Legend (New York: Peter Lang 1999). An
excellent
website now offers a wide variety of Augustinian images,
emphasizing late medieval and Renaissance.
I have collected here a few items that have
come my desultory way on the Internet as well.
