Augustinian Saint

The 'Augustinian Saint', executed between 1454-1469, is part of a mixed-technique altarpiece by Early Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca. This masterpiece originally consisted of thirty panels, but only eight have survived and are scattered across five museums globally. Francesca's work, predominantly a religious painting, exemplifies the splendid detailing and intricacy synonymous with the Early Renaissance period. The painting seems to be created using tempera, a paining medium widely used during this era, which adds depth and richness to the depicted saint's image.
