"Scenes from the Life of St. James" is a series of frescoes by the Italian painter Altichiero da Zevio, a prominent artist of the Gothic period. These frescoes are located in the Oratory of St. George in Padua, Italy, and were completed around 1379-1384. Altichiero's work is highly regarded for its narrative clarity, attention to detail, and the use of perspective, which was innovative for the time.

The frescoes depict various episodes from the life of St. James the Greater, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and are notable for their vivid portrayal of the saint's legend. Altichiero's mastery of storytelling through visual means is evident in these works, as he skillfully combines religious iconography with realistic human emotion and dramatic landscapes.

The "Scenes from the Life of St. James" are considered some of Altichiero's finest works and are an important example of the International Gothic style that was spreading across Europe during the late 14th century. The frescoes are characterized by their elegance, rich color palette, and the graceful depiction of figures, which reflect the influence of the contemporary Sienese and Florentine schools of painting.

Altichiero's contribution to the Oratory of St. George, through these frescoes, has been recognized as a significant milestone in the development of Italian Renaissance art. The "Scenes from the Life of St. James" not only demonstrate the artist's technical prowess but also provide valuable insight into the religious and cultural context of the time. These frescoes continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance, attracting scholars and visitors to the oratory to experience the grandeur of Altichiero's vision.
