"St. Augustine in His Study" (1480) is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, located in the Church of Ognissanti, Florence, Italy. The work depicts Saint Augustine, the early Christian theologian and philosopher, in a moment of intellectual contemplation within his study. This fresco is part of a series that includes a corresponding piece by Domenico Ghirlandaio, representing Saint Jerome in his study, which is situated on the opposite wall of the church, creating a thematic dialogue between the two church fathers renowned for their scholarly contributions.

Botticelli's portrayal of St. Augustine is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing both the human form and the spiritual introspection of its subjects. The saint is shown surrounded by the tools of scholarship—a quill, books, an astrolabe, and other instruments—reflecting the Renaissance interest in knowledge and the revival of classical learning. The fresco is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, the harmonious use of color, and the serene atmosphere it evokes, all of which are characteristic of Botticelli's style.

Commissioned during a period of great intellectual and artistic flourishing in Florence, the fresco reflects the city's cultural milieu, where patrons such as the Medici family encouraged the creation of religious art that also celebrated humanistic values. "St. Augustine in His Study" is not only a religious representation but also an embodiment of the Renaissance ideal that saw no contradiction between faith and reason.

The fresco remains an important example of Botticelli's religious work and contributes to our understanding of the artist's broader oeuvre, which includes mythological subjects as well as devotional images. It continues to attract scholarly attention for its iconographic significance and its place within the context of Renaissance art history.
