medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Perhaps because we just saw it for Monica, John has left off the Arca di
Sant'Agostino in Pavia, with the recumbent effigy of Augustine, scenes
from his life, translations of his relics, and posthumous miracles. For
many images, see

The church that houses the Arca also holds Augustine's relics (as well
as Boethius')

I can also offer a c.1300 polyptych with an Augustine panel:
