Scenes from the Legend of Saint Augustine: Saint Augustine Baptized by Saint Ambrose, This image shows the baptism of St. Augustine. Here, St. Augustine is baptised by St. Ambrose, while others watch nearby on either side. St. Monica kneels on the right, and behind her are Augustine's friend Alipius (who looks to be next in line for baptism) and Alipius' son Adeodatus. To the left are St. Ambrose and others wearing church vestments. The scene is set inside a church.
