A lamb and a goat are sacrificed to a golden idol in a temple in the heart of a Late Gothic town. The kneeling priest might be St Augustine, the Church Father who in his youth had embraced Manichaeism. However, after converting to Christianity, he fervently refuted this once widespread early religion. Made in Brussels, the panel probably was part of an altarpiece or series of paintings featuring scenes from Augustine’s life.
