"St. Augustine" is the subject of two paintings by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli. The first, executed in 1480, is in the church of Ognissanti in Florence. The other is in the Uffizi, also in Florence.
Ognissanti "St. Augustine in His Studio"
It portrays the Saint in meditation within his studio. The Coat of Arms visible in the upper part is that of the Vespucci family: it has been supposed that the picture was commissioned by Amerigo Vespucci's father.
The lines in the book over the saint's head are mostly meaningless, apart a line in which it is read: "Dov'è Frate Martino? È scappato. E dov'è andato? È fuor dalla Porta al Prato" ("Where Fra' Martino is? He fled. And where did he go? He is outside Porta al Prato"), probably referring to the escapades of one of the monks of the church's convent.
