"The Healing of Palladia by Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian" is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes painted by Fra Angelico in the mid-15th century for the convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy. The fresco depicts the miraculous healing of the Roman patrician woman Palladia by the twin brothers and saints, Cosmas and Damian. According to Christian tradition, the saints were renowned physicians who healed the sick without accepting payment, and they are often invoked as patron saints of medicine and surgery.

The fresco illustrates the moment when the saints graft the leg of a recently deceased Ethiopian man onto Palladia, who was suffering from a cancerous leg. This legendary transplant is considered one of the first accounts of a miraculous surgical procedure in Christian hagiography. Fra Angelico's representation of the scene is noted for its serene and harmonious composition, reflecting the painter's devout religious beliefs and his mastery of quattrocento artistic techniques.

The work is characterized by its use of linear perspective and delicate color palette, which were innovative at the time and contributed to the development of Florentine painting. The fresco also exemplifies Fra Angelico's ability to convey complex theological ideas through visual narrative, making the divine intervention understandable and relatable to the viewer. The Healing of Palladia by Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian remains a significant example of Fra Angelico's contribution to the art of the Italian Renaissance and continues to be admired for its spiritual depth and aesthetic beauty.
