"Arrival of St Augustine in Milan" is a fresco painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Benozzo Gozzoli, completed between 1464 and 1465. This work is part of a series of frescoes depicting the life of St. Augustine, located in the Aula Magna of the San Gimignano monastery in Tuscany, Italy. Scene 8, on the north wall of the chapel, illustrates the moment when St. Augustine arrives in Milan to meet with Ambrose, the Bishop of Milan, an event that was pivotal in Augustine's journey towards Christianity.

The fresco is a vibrant narrative painting that showcases Gozzoli's mastery of color and composition. It reflects the humanist interests of the time, with a focus on the intellectual exchange between two of the most significant figures in early Christian theology. The scene is set within an architectural framework that suggests the grandeur of Milan, with figures dressed in contemporary Florentine fashion, indicating the artist's intent to connect the historical event with the cultural context of his own time.

Benozzo Gozzoli, a pupil of Fra Angelico, was known for his detailed landscapes and his ability to convey the richness of narrative scenes through his work. In "Arrival of St Augustine in Milan," Gozzoli's use of perspective and his attention to the minutiae of daily life provide a vivid backdrop for the historical encounter. The fresco is considered an important example of Quattrocento art and contributes to our understanding of the period's artistic and religious milieu.

The fresco has been studied for its iconographic significance, as well as its stylistic relationship to other works by Gozzoli and his contemporaries. As part of the larger cycle of St. Augustine's life, this scene is integral to the hagiographic narrative that was popular in ecclesiastical art during the Renaissance. The "Arrival of St Augustine in Milan" remains a testament to Gozzoli's skill as a storyteller and his ability to infuse his religious subjects with a sense of immediacy and humanism.
