"St Augustine" is a notable fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painter Vincenzo Foppa. This artwork, which dates back to the late 15th century, is a significant example of Foppa's mastery in fresco painting and his contribution to the Lombard school of art. Vincenzo Foppa, born around 1427 and active until his death in 1515 or 1516, was a prominent figure in the transition from Gothic to Renaissance art in Northern Italy. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, realistic human figures, and innovative use of perspective.

The fresco depicts St Augustine, one of the most influential theologians and philosophers of early Christianity, known for his writings such as "Confessions" and "The City of God." In this fresco, St Augustine is typically portrayed in his episcopal robes, often holding a book or a quill, symbolizing his scholarly contributions to Christian thought. The setting of the fresco is imbued with a sense of depth and spatial coherence, showcasing Foppa's skill in creating a three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional surface.

Foppa's use of color and light in "St Augustine" is particularly noteworthy. The fresco exhibits a harmonious palette and a delicate interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the realism and emotional depth of the figure. The artist's ability to convey the saint's contemplative and serene demeanor reflects his deep understanding of human psychology and expression.

"St Augustine" by Vincenzo Foppa is housed in the church of San Pietro in Gessate in Milan, Italy. This location is significant as it places the work within the context of a religious setting, allowing viewers to appreciate it as part of a broader narrative of Christian art and devotion. The fresco remains an important piece for studying the development of Renaissance art in Lombardy and Foppa's influence on subsequent generations of artists.
