"The Nine Worthies" is a fresco series painted by the Italian artist Giacomo Jaquerio around the early 15th century. Located in the Castello della Manta near Saluzzo in Piedmont, Italy, the frescoes depict a selection of nine historical, scriptural, and legendary figures who were considered to embody the ideals of chivalry. These figures were popularized in the Middle Ages and typically include 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).

Jaquerio, active between the late 14th and early 15th centuries, was a significant painter in the International Gothic style, and his work on "The Nine Worthies" is considered one of his masterpieces. The frescoes are notable for their vivid coloration, intricate detail, and the way they reflect the chivalric values and the fusion of historical and mythical narratives that were prevalent during the time.

The Castello della Manta, owned by the noble Valerano family, served as the backdrop for these frescoes, which adorned the walls of the castle's grand hall. The choice of the Nine Worthies theme was likely intended to reflect the nobility's connection to the ideals of knighthood and to inspire those who resided or visited the castle.

While the frescoes have undergone restoration to preserve their beauty and historical significance, they remain a testament to the skill of Giacomo Jaquerio and the cultural milieu of the Piemontese court during the late medieval period. "The Nine Worthies" by Jaquerio is not only an important work of art from the standpoint of aesthetics but also offers valuable insight into the social and cultural values of the aristocracy in medieval Italy.
