"Fall of Simon Magus" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Benozzo Gozzoli, whose full name is Benozzo di Lese di Sandro, also known as Benozzo Gozzoli. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes that Gozzoli painted in the apse of the Church of San Francesco in Montefalco, Italy, between 1450 and 1452. The fresco depicts the biblical story of Simon Magus, a figure from the Acts of the Apostles, who is said to have attempted to buy the power of the Holy Spirit from the Apostles Peter and John.

In the narrative of the fresco, Simon Magus is shown falling from the sky after attempting to prove his divine power by flying, an act that was thwarted by the prayers of Saints Peter and Paul. This scene is a representation of the sin of simony, the act of selling church offices and roles, which is named after Simon Magus. The fresco serves as a moral lesson against such corruption within the church.

Benozzo Gozzoli, a student of Fra Angelico, was known for his detailed and colorful style, and his work on the "Fall of Simon Magus" is no exception. The fresco is characterized by its vivid colors, dynamic figures, and the use of perspective, which was innovative at the time. It is an important example of Quattrocento art and provides insight into the religious and cultural context of the period.

The "Fall of Simon Magus" is considered one of Gozzoli's significant works and contributes to the understanding of the development of Renaissance fresco techniques. It remains an object of study for art historians and a point of interest for visitors to the Church of San Francesco in Montefalco.
