The Miracle of the Dragons from the Altarpiece of St Matthew and Scenes from his Life, created between 1367 and 1370, is a remarkable example of Gothic art by the Italian painters Andrea di Cione, known as Orcagna, and his brother Jacopo di Cione. This work forms part of a larger altarpiece dedicated to St. Matthew, which was commissioned for the church of Orsanmichele in Florence, a significant religious and artistic center during the 14th century.

Andrea and Jacopo Orcagna were prominent figures in the Florentine art scene, known for their contributions to the Gothic style that dominated the period. Their work is characterized by its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the use of gold leaf, which imbues the scenes with a divine luminosity. The Miracle of the Dragons is a testament to their skill in narrative composition and their ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art.

The scene depicted in The Miracle of the Dragons illustrates a miraculous event from the life of St. Matthew, emphasizing the saint's divine protection and the power of faith. According to legend, St. Matthew was confronted by dragons, which he miraculously subdued, demonstrating his sanctity and the triumph of good over evil. This narrative is vividly brought to life through the Orcagna brothers' meticulous attention to detail and their adept use of spatial composition to create a sense of drama and movement.

The altarpiece as a whole, including The Miracle of the Dragons, serves not only as a devotional object but also as a didactic tool, educating the faithful about the life and miracles of St. Matthew. The work reflects the religious fervor of the time and the importance of visual storytelling in the propagation of Christian beliefs. Today, The Miracle of the Dragons stands as a significant piece of art history, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 14th-century Florence and the artistic achievements of the Orcagna brothers.
