"Way of Salvation" (also known as the "Road to Salvation" or "Path of the Elect") is a 14th-century fresco by the Italian painter Andrea Bonaiuti, also known as Andrea da Firenze. Created in 1365, this artwork is a significant detail from the larger decorative scheme of the Spanish Chapel (Cappellone degli Spagnoli), which is located within the former Dominican convent of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. The fresco is renowned for its intricate iconography and its representation of the theological concept of salvation in Christian doctrine.

The "Way of Salvation" is part of a complex program of frescoes that cover the walls of the Spanish Chapel, which was originally the chapter house of the convent. Andrea Bonaiuti was commissioned to decorate the chapel with scenes that reflect the Dominican Order's intellectual pursuits and their role in guiding souls to salvation. The frescoes are considered a masterpiece of Gothic art in Italy and are notable for their vivid coloration, narrative clarity, and the incorporation of contemporary figures into religious scenes.

In the "Way of Salvation," Bonaiuti illustrates the journey of the faithful as they are led towards the Heavenly Jerusalem. The fresco is filled with allegorical figures, including angels, saints, and personifications of virtues, which guide and protect the souls of the elect. The composition is carefully structured to lead the viewer's eye through the stages of spiritual enlightenment and redemption, culminating in the celestial city that symbolizes the ultimate goal of the Christian life.

The fresco has been the subject of extensive art historical research due to its complex symbolism and its reflection of the religious and cultural milieu of 14th-century Florence. It is considered an important work for understanding the visual language of the time and the ways in which art was used to communicate religious ideas to a broad audience. The "Way of Salvation" remains a valuable artifact for both its aesthetic qualities and its didactic function within the context of the Dominican convent.

As a significant contribution to the Italian Gothic tradition, Andrea Bonaiuti's "Way of Salvation" continues to attract scholarly attention and remains an essential work for visitors to the Spanish Chapel, offering insight into the spiritual and artistic aspirations of the period.
