Saint John the Evangelist ca. 1320 Segna di Buonaventura Italian This is the best-preserved panel of a signed altarpiece by Segna of which three other panels are also in the Metropolitan Museum. Although Segnas art is dependent on the work of Duccio, his figures have a regal, hieratic formality. His ascetic, harshly featured saints consciously evoke a more archaic art, and he notably retained the Byzantine use of gold striations on draperies—emblematic of the sacred world of icons. For more information about this painting, including a reconstruction of the altarpiece, visit metmuseum.org.. Saint John the Evangelist. Segna di Buonaventura (Italian, active Siena by 1298-died 1326/31). ca. 1320. Tempera on wood, gold ground. Paintings

Moses ca. 1408-10 Lorenzo Monaco (Piero di Giovanni) Italian These four Old Testament prophets are among the masterpieces of this leading late Gothic Florentine painter. Each figure holds an identifying attribute and strikes a rhetorical pose. Moses holds the tablets of the Ten Commandments; Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac prefigures that of Christ; David, holding a cither, is considered a direct ancestor of Christ; and Noah's ark prefigures the Church. These intense figures have reminded scholars of the sculpture of Donatello and Ghiberti. Were they arranged single file or superimposed in pairs; did they form an altarpiece or serve some other function We can’t say.. Moses. Lorenzo Monaco (Piero di Giovanni) (Italian, Florence () ca. 1370-1425 Florence ()). ca. 1408-10. Tempera on wood, gold ground. Paintings

Augustine of Hippo (Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis, November 13, 354 - August 28, 430), also known as Augustine, St. Augustine, St. Austin, St. Augoustinos, Blessed Augustine, or St. Augustine the Blessed, was Bishop of Hippo Regius, the present-day Annaba, Algeria. He was a Latin-speaking philosopher and theologian who lived in the Roman Africa Province. His writings were very influential in the development of Western Christianity. In his early years Augustine was heavily influenced by Manichaeism and afterward by the Neo-Platonism of Plotinus. After his conversion to Christianity and baptism in 387, Augustine developed a new approach to philosophy and theology, accommodating a variety of methods and different perspectives. He believed that the grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom, and he framed the concepts of original sin and just war.
