"Sermon on the Mount" is a fresco painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Cosimo Rosselli, completed around 1481-1482. The artwork is part of the series of frescoes commissioned for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, Rome, by Pope Sixtus IV. Rosselli's fresco is one of several that line the walls of the chapel, each depicting different scenes from the life of Moses and the life of Christ, intended to draw parallels between the Old Testament lawgiver and the New Testament savior.

Rosselli's "Sermon on the Mount" illustrates the moment in the Gospel of Matthew (chapters 5-7) when Jesus delivers a discourse to his disciples and the multitudes on a mountainside. This sermon includes some of the core teachings of Christianity, such as the Beatitudes, the Lord's Prayer, and the Golden Rule. The fresco captures the central figure of Jesus elevated on a rocky outcrop, gesturing as he addresses the crowd below, with his closest disciples gathered around him.

Cosimo Rosselli, although not as renowned as some of his contemporaries like Michelangelo or Botticelli, was a respected Florentine painter known for his use of vivid colors and clear narratives. In the "Sermon on the Mount," Rosselli's composition is notable for its clarity and simplicity, focusing on the didactic nature of the scene. The landscape in the background, with a distant view of a city that may represent an idealized Jerusalem, provides a serene and orderly setting for the divine teachings.

The fresco is also significant for its historical context, as it was part of the extensive artistic renovation of the Sistine Chapel, which aimed to reinforce the power and religious authority of the Papacy during the turbulent times of the late 15th century. Rosselli's contribution to the chapel's decoration is often overshadowed by the later ceiling frescoes of Michelangelo, but "Sermon on the Mount" remains an important example of Quattrocento mural painting and a testament to the religious and artistic values of the period.

In the years since its creation, "Sermon on the Mount" has been studied for its artistic merit, its place within the broader narrative of the Sistine Chapel frescoes, and its interpretation of a pivotal New Testament event. The fresco has undergone various restorations to preserve its original vibrancy and detail, allowing contemporary audiences to appreciate Rosselli's work as it was intended to be seen by viewers of the Renaissance.
