"Pope Celestine III Grants Autonomy to the Hospital of Siena" is a notable fresco by the Italian painter Bartolo di Fredi, also known as Domenico di Bartolo. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Pellegrinaio (Pilgrim's Hall) in the Santa Maria della Scala hospital complex, one of the oldest hospitals in Europe, located in Siena, Italy. The fresco, dating from the 15th century, depicts the historical event in which Pope Celestine III granted autonomy to the Hospital of Siena, allowing it to operate independently from ecclesiastical and secular authorities.

Bartolo di Fredi, active during the late medieval period, was a prominent Sienese painter known for his narrative style and attention to detail. His work on the frescoes in the Pellegrinaio is considered one of his most significant contributions to the Sienese School of painting. The fresco in question is particularly important as it captures a pivotal moment in the history of the hospital and the city of Siena, reflecting the institution's importance in the care of pilgrims, the poor, and the sick during the Middle Ages.

The fresco is characterized by its vivid portrayal of the figures, including Pope Celestine III and the representatives of the hospital, as well as its use of perspective and architectural elements to frame the scene. The work is a testament to the social and religious context of the time, highlighting the role of the Church in public life and the autonomy of civic institutions. As a piece of historical and artistic significance, "Pope Celestine III Grants Autonomy to the Hospital of Siena" remains an essential work for understanding the interplay between art, history, and society in medieval Siena.
