http://www.historylink101.com/art/Sandro_Botticelli/pages/06_St_Augustine_jpg.htm
The Saint Augustine painting was Botticelli’s first major fresco. It was commissioned by the Medici family in 1480. The painting of Saint Augustine was set in the Church of the Ognissanti, in France. It was painted in the choir area of the church. On the opposite side of the choir area was another painting; St Augustine in his Study done by Domernico Ghirlandaio. This painting was commissioned by the Vespucci family. Botticelli spent a great deal of time working on this painting wanting to rise above any other painter in his time.
