"St Nicholas of Bari (on the pillar)" is a fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painter Benozzo di Lese di Sandro Gozzoli, commonly known as Benozzo Gozzoli, between 1464 and 1465. This work is part of a larger decorative scheme in the Church of San Francesco in Montefalco, a small town in the Umbria region of Italy. Gozzoli, a pupil of Fra Angelico, is renowned for his detailed and vibrant frescoes, which often depict religious themes with a rich narrative quality.

The fresco portrays St. Nicholas of Bari, a 4th-century Christian saint known for his generosity and numerous miracles attributed to his intercession. St. Nicholas is depicted in his traditional episcopal attire, complete with a mitre and crozier, symbolizing his role as a bishop. The saint is often associated with the figure of Santa Claus in popular culture, although this fresco focuses on his religious significance and veneration within the Christian tradition.

Gozzoli's work is characterized by its vivid colors, intricate details, and the use of perspective to create a sense of depth. In "St Nicholas of Bari (on the pillar)," these elements are evident in the careful rendering of the saint's garments and the architectural features surrounding him. The fresco is part of a series that adorns the pillars and walls of the church, contributing to the overall spiritual and aesthetic atmosphere of the space.

The Church of San Francesco, where the fresco is located, is an important site for art historians and visitors interested in Renaissance art. Gozzoli's contributions to the church's decoration are considered some of his finest works, showcasing his ability to blend narrative storytelling with devotional imagery. The frescoes in Montefalco, including "St Nicholas of Bari (on the pillar)," reflect the artist's mastery of the medium and his commitment to enhancing the spiritual experience of the church's visitors through art.
