"The Nine Worthies and the Nine Worthy Women" is a fresco series attributed to the Italian painter Giacomo Jaquerio (c. 1375–1453). Created in the early 15th century, these frescoes are considered significant works of the International Gothic art movement, which was characterized by elegant and intricate designs, vibrant colors, and an emphasis on decorative patterns. The frescoes depict a selection of historical, scriptural, and legendary figures that medieval society considered to be paragons of chivalry and virtue.

The concept of the Nine Worthies originated in the Middle Ages and traditionally includes three pagans (Hector, Alexander the Great, and Julius Caesar), three Jews (Joshua, David, and Judas Maccabeus), and three Christians (King Arthur, Charlemagne, and Godfrey of Bouillon). These figures were celebrated for their exemplary conduct and were often featured in literature, tapestries, and art to promote chivalric ideals.

In addition to the male worthies, Jaquerio's fresco series is notable for including the Nine Worthy Women, a less commonly depicted group that mirrors the male triad. These women were chosen from classical antiquity, the Bible, and medieval legend to represent female virtue and heroism. While the specific identities of the Nine Worthy Women in Jaquerio's frescoes may vary according to different sources, they often include figures such as the biblical heroines Esther and Judith, the legendary Pope Joan, and historical figures like Lucretia.

Giacomo Jaquerio's frescoes are located in the Castello della Manta near Saluzzo in Piedmont, Italy. The castle itself is a site of historical significance, and the frescoes are among its most treasured artistic assets. The "Nine Worthies and the Nine Worthy Women" are situated in the Hall of the Barons and are part of a larger decorative scheme that includes other allegorical and chivalric themes.

The frescoes have been the subject of art historical interest due to their unique inclusion of both male and female worthies, their representation of chivalric culture, and their embodiment of the International Gothic style. As such, they provide valuable insight into the social values and artistic tastes of the Italian nobility during the late medieval period.
