Hildegard’s theology of beauty, best expressed in her epistle on music to the prelates of Mainz, has profoundly influenced my artwork. She proposed that delight in beauty is essentially a longing for the dimly remembered experience of Eden.
I drew her wearing a golden crown adorned with an Agnus Dei and three crosses; rings; and a white veil. These items were worn on feast days by the sisters at Rupertsberg, a realization of one of Hildegard’s visions recorded in Scivias.
