"Clement IV (1265-68) Delivering Arms to the Leaders of the Guelph Party" is a fresco painted in 1565 by the Italian artist, architect, and historian Giorgio Vasari. It is located on the ceiling of the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici, Duke of Florence, to glorify the achievements and power of the Medici family. The fresco depicts Pope Clement IV, a historical figure who played a significant role in the politics of 13th-century Italy, presenting arms to the leaders of the Guelph party, which was aligned with the papacy and supported by the Medici.

The Salone dei Cinquecento is renowned for its grandeur and the extensive decorative program executed by Vasari and his workshop. The frescoes in the hall celebrate the victories and accomplishments of the Medici dynasty, intertwining historical events with allegorical elements. In this particular fresco, Vasari illustrates a moment that symbolizes the alliance between the Church and the Florentine political faction that would eventually lead to the rise of the Medici family. The work is executed in Vasari's characteristic Mannerist style, known for its complex compositions, elongated figures, and vibrant colors.

The fresco is an integral part of the iconographic scheme of the Salone dei Cinquecento, which was designed to exalt the Medici's governance and reinforce their legitimacy. As such, "Clement IV Delivering Arms to the Leaders of the Guelph Party" not only serves as an artistic expression but also as a political statement, reflecting the intricate relationship between art, power, and propaganda during the Renaissance in Florence.
