"Famous Persons: Queen Esther" is a fresco painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea del Castagno, created around 1450. The work is part of a series of frescoes depicting illustrious men and women from history, which were originally located in the Villa Carducci at Legnaia, near Florence. This series is collectively known as the "Famous Persons" cycle.

The fresco portrays Queen Esther, a figure from the Hebrew Bible and the primary character in the Book of Esther, who is celebrated for her bravery in saving the Jewish people from a royal decree that threatened their extermination in the Persian Empire. In Castagno's depiction, Esther is typically shown in a dignified pose, dressed in the fashion of the Italian Renaissance, which was a common practice of the time to depict biblical and historical figures in contemporary attire.

Andrea del Castagno's work is renowned for its powerful characterizations and innovative use of perspective and chiaroscuro, which add depth and realism to the figures. The "Famous Persons: Queen Esther" fresco is no exception, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering the human form with a sense of volume and presence.

The frescoes were detached from the villa walls in the 19th century and are now housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence. The "Famous Persons" cycle is considered one of Castagno's masterpieces and an important example of mid-15th-century Florentine art. The series reflects the humanist interests of the time, celebrating the virtues and achievements of historical figures, and the inclusion of Queen Esther highlights the broader cultural and religious knowledge of the period as well as the appreciation for heroic women in history.
