"St. Dominic Sending Forth the Hounds and St. Peter Martyr Casting Down the Heretics" are two significant frescoes created by the Italian painter Andrea Bonaiuti da Da Firenze, also known as Andrea di Bonaiuto. These works are part of a larger cycle of frescoes located in the Spanish Chapel (Cappellone degli Spagnoli) of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. Painted between 1365 and 1367, these frescoes are exemplary of the Gothic style and serve as a visual narrative celebrating the Dominican Order's role in combating heresy and promoting the Catholic faith.

The Spanish Chapel was originally commissioned by Buonamico di Lapo Guidalotti, a wealthy Florentine merchant, and was intended to serve as a chapter house for the Dominican friars. Andrea Bonaiuti's frescoes within the chapel are renowned for their intricate detail, vibrant colors, and theological symbolism. "St. Dominic Sending Forth the Hounds" depicts Saint Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order, sending out his followers, symbolized by hounds, to root out heresy and spread the true faith. The hounds, often depicted with torches in their mouths, represent the Dominicans' zeal and fervor in their mission.

"St. Peter Martyr Casting Down the Heretics" portrays Saint Peter Martyr, a prominent Dominican inquisitor and preacher, triumphing over heretics. This fresco emphasizes the victory of orthodox Catholic doctrine over heretical beliefs, a theme central to the Dominican Order's identity and mission during the Middle Ages.

Both frescoes are rich in iconography and reflect the religious and political context of 14th-century Florence. They not only highlight the Dominicans' spiritual and doctrinal battles but also serve as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the period. Andrea Bonaiuti's work in the Spanish Chapel remains a significant contribution to the history of Gothic art and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic and historical value.
