Description |
St. Augustine’s cope (mantle) was originally covered entirely in silver, which has flaked away over time. The red that we see today is bole, the clay-like pigment used as a base for silver and gold leaf. It is important to realize that with the silver leaf decoration this painting would have shimmered in the church candlelight with a radiance that is almost difficult to imagine today. |
