"St Nicholas of Bari" is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This work is part of a series of frescoes that Fra Angelico painted for the Niccoline Chapel in the Vatican, which was commissioned by Pope Nicholas V in the mid-15th century. The chapel is dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra, a 4th-century saint known for his generous gifts to the poor and being the historical model for Santa Claus.

The fresco depicts St. Nicholas of Bari, who is often conflated with St. Nicholas of Myra, in a narrative scene that illustrates one of the miracles attributed to the saint. In the artwork, St. Nicholas is shown saving three innocent men from execution, a common theme in his iconography that emphasizes his role as a protector and miracle worker. The fresco is noted for its vivid colors, serene figures, and the harmonious composition that is characteristic of Fra Angelico's style.

As a part of the decoration of the Niccoline Chapel, "St Nicholas of Bari" showcases Fra Angelico's mastery in conveying theological themes through art. His work in the chapel is considered one of the early examples of the use of perspective in Renaissance painting, which was a significant development in the history of Western art. The fresco is also an important piece of the Vatican's art collection and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic context of the Renaissance period.

Fra Angelico's contribution to the Niccoline Chapel, including "St Nicholas of Bari," is highly regarded for its spiritual depth and artistic innovation. The frescoes are a testament to the artist's devout faith and his ability to translate complex religious narratives into compelling visual stories. Today, "St Nicholas of Bari" remains an important work for scholars studying the Renaissance and for visitors to the Vatican who seek to experience the beauty and sanctity of Fra Angelico's art.
