"Famous Persons: Pippo Spano (1450)" is a fresco painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea del Castagno, part of a series depicting illustrious men and women that once adorned the walls of the Villa Carducci at Legnaia, near Florence. The series, known as the "Cycle of Famous Men and Women," was commissioned by the wealthy Florentine banker Pigello Portinari and showcases Castagno's mastery of perspective, his strong modeling of forms, and his innovative use of space.

The fresco portrays the Hungarian military leader Filippo Scolari, known as Pippo Spano, who was celebrated for his victories against the Ottoman Empire in the early 15th century. Castagno's depiction of Pippo Spano is emblematic of the ideal of the condottiero, or military leader, during the Renaissance, embodying virtues such as bravery, leadership, and martial prowess. The figure is shown in profile, a common convention in portraiture at the time, which was influenced by ancient Roman coins and medals. Pippo Spano is dressed in armor, with a baton of command in his hand, symbolizing his status as a commander.

The fresco is notable for its realistic portrayal and psychological depth, as Castagno captures the stern and determined character of the military leader. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, further enhances the three-dimensional effect of the figure and contributes to the dramatic intensity of the portrait.

After the demolition of the Villa Carducci in the early 19th century, the frescoes were detached and transferred to canvas. They are now housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, where they continue to be admired for their artistic significance and historical portrayal of Renaissance ideals. The "Famous Persons: Pippo Spano" stands as a testament to Andrea del Castagno's contribution to the development of Renaissance portraiture and his ability to convey the grandeur and dignity of his subjects.
