The "Monument to Niccolò da Tolentino" is a fresco created by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Andrea del Castagno. This significant work of art is located in the Florence Cathedral (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore) and was completed around 1456. The fresco serves as a commemorative monument to Niccolò da Tolentino, a celebrated condottiero (military leader) who played a pivotal role in the military history of Florence during the early 15th century.

Andrea del Castagno, known for his mastery in fresco painting and his ability to convey powerful human emotions and dynamic compositions, was commissioned to create this monument to honor Tolentino's contributions. The fresco is notable for its realistic portrayal and the use of perspective, which was innovative for its time. Castagno's work captures Tolentino in full military regalia, mounted on a majestic horse, symbolizing his prowess and leadership on the battlefield.

The "Monument to Niccolò da Tolentino" is often compared to the earlier "Equestrian Monument of Sir John Hawkwood" by Paolo Uccello, also located in the Florence Cathedral. Both works exemplify the Florentine Republic's tradition of commemorating military leaders through grand equestrian portraits, a practice that underscores the importance of military achievements in the civic life of Renaissance Florence.

Castagno's fresco is distinguished by its attention to detail and the lifelike representation of both the horse and the rider. The artist's use of chiaroscuro (the treatment of light and shadow) and his skillful application of perspective create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality, making the figures appear almost sculptural. This work not only celebrates the legacy of Niccolò da Tolentino but also stands as a testament to Andrea del Castagno's artistic prowess and his contribution to the development of Renaissance art.
