"The School of Tagaste (scene 1, north wall) 1464-65" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Benozzo Gozzoli, whose full name is Benozzo di Lese di Sandro, also known as Benozzo Gozzoli. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Chapel of the Magi in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence, Italy. The frescoes were commissioned by the powerful Medici family and are considered one of Gozzoli's masterpieces, showcasing his talent for vivid storytelling and detailed, colorful compositions.

The School of Tagaste depicts a scene from the early life of St. Augustine, one of the most important Church Fathers and a significant philosopher in Western Christianity. The fresco illustrates Augustine's time as a teacher in Tagaste, a city in present-day Algeria, where he founded a school of rhetoric prior to his conversion to Christianity. In this scene, Gozzoli captures the intellectual environment of the school, with Augustine engaged in teaching his pupils.

The fresco is notable for its rich portrayal of 15th-century Florentine attire, as Gozzoli incorporated contemporary fashion into the depiction of the figures, a common practice among Renaissance artists to bridge the historical narrative with the present day. The attention to detail in the garments, the architectural elements, and the surrounding landscape reflects the artist's commitment to realism and his skill in creating depth and perspective.

Benozzo Gozzoli's work on the Chapel of the Magi began in 1459 and concluded in 1465. The School of Tagaste, as the first scene on the north wall, sets the tone for the subsequent frescoes, which continue to narrate the life of St. Augustine and the journey of the Magi. The frescoes in the chapel are celebrated for their decorative quality and the way they reflect the wealth and influence of the Medici family during the Renaissance.

The School of Tagaste is a significant cultural artifact, not only for its artistic value but also for its historical context, as it provides insight into the educational practices of the time and the veneration of St. Augustine in the Renaissance period. It remains a key attraction for visitors to the Palazzo Medici Riccardi and a subject of study for art historians and scholars of the Italian Renaissance.
