St. Augustine in His Study (also called Vision of St. Augustine) is an oil and tempera on canvas painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio housed in the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni of Venice, northern Italy. The painting depicts St. Augustine while he has a vision while sitting in a large room filled with objects.
It portrays Augustine of Hippo in meditation inside his study. The precise subject is a legend, probably first found in the 13th century, of a vision Augustine had as he began to write a letter to Jerome in his study at Hippo in 420. The time is shown on the clock by his head as the end of the twenty-fourth hour, counting from the previous sunset.

Vittore Carpaccio (1502). St. Augustine in His Study [detail]. Augustine attempted numerous explanations of 1 Timothy 2:4. [50] The Pelagians assumed 1 Tim. 2:4 taught that God gave the gift of faith to all persons, which Augustine easily refuted by changing wills/desires to "provides opportunity". [51]
[1] Carpaccio was observed to have played with the vanishing point in his works. For example, in St. Jerome In His Study, the vanishing point is to the right of the center. [3] While he did still employ the traditional use of having the vanishing point be in the center, at times Carpaccio added a second vanishing point. [3]
