The "Altarpiece of St. Augustine - Scene John the Tufer and the St. Augustine" is a 1510 painting by Italian Renaissance master Pietro Perugino, housed in the National Gallery of Umbria, Perugia, Italy. This panel, measuring 173 x 91 cm, features a depiction of St. Augustine, bishop of Hippo Regius, holding a book, and the barefoot figure of John the Tufer. The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of the figures, particularly the realistic portrayal of the clothing, and for its use of a soft, muted color palette, which is typical of Perugino's style. The painting is a fine example of the Umbrian school of painting.
