"The Church Militant and Triumphant" is a significant fresco located in the Spanish Chapel (Cappellone degli Spagnoli) of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. This masterpiece was created by the Italian painter Andrea Bonaiuti da Da Firenze, also known as Andrea di Bonaiuto, during the 1360s. The fresco is part of a larger cycle that adorns the walls of the chapel, which was originally commissioned by the Dominican Order to illustrate the triumph of the Church and the Dominican role in the salvation of souls.

The right-hand side of "The Church Militant and Triumphant" is particularly notable for its intricate depiction of the Church's earthly and heavenly realms. The fresco is divided into several registers, each teeming with symbolic imagery and figures that convey the theological and philosophical tenets of the time. In the lower register, the Church Militant is represented by a procession of clergy, laity, and members of the Dominican Order, all marching towards the central figure of the Pope, who symbolizes the unity and authority of the Church on Earth.

Above this, the Church Triumphant is depicted in a celestial realm, where saints, angels, and the blessed are shown in a state of eternal glory. This section is characterized by its vibrant use of color and intricate detailing, which serve to emphasize the divine nature of the scene. The fresco also includes allegorical figures and scenes that represent virtues, vices, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil, reflecting the didactic purpose of the artwork.

Andrea Bonaiuti's work is celebrated for its complex iconography and its ability to convey a narrative that is both visually compelling and theologically rich. The fresco not only serves as a religious and educational tool but also stands as a testament to the artistic and intellectual achievements of the 14th century. Through its detailed representation of the Church's dual nature, "The Church Militant and Triumphant" offers viewers a profound insight into the medieval Christian worldview and the Dominican Order's mission.
