"Paul III Farnese Names Cardinals and Distributes Benefices" is a fresco by the Italian artist, architect, and writer Giorgio Vasari, a prominent figure of the Italian Renaissance. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes created by Vasari that adorn the walls of the Sala di Cento Giorni (also known as the Sala Regia) in the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome. The Palazzo served as the residence of the powerful Farnese family and was a center of political and ecclesiastical power during the Renaissance.

The fresco depicts Pope Paul III, born Alessandro Farnese, in the act of appointing new cardinals and distributing church benefices, which were often sources of income and political influence. The scene illustrates the Pope's authority and the central role of the papacy in the governance of the Catholic Church during the 16th century. It also reflects the intricate relationship between religion and politics during the Renaissance, a time when the church had significant control over secular matters.

Vasari's work is notable for its detailed representation of the figures, the use of perspective, and the vivid portrayal of the opulent costumes and surroundings typical of the period. The fresco is a testament to Vasari's skill in capturing the grandeur and ceremony of papal proceedings, as well as his ability to convey the personalities and power dynamics of the historical figures he depicted.

The commission of the fresco series, including "Paul III Farnese Names Cardinals and Distributes Benefices," was part of a broader effort by the Farnese family to glorify their lineage and to solidify their legacy within the ecclesiastical and political landscape of Italy. Vasari, who is also known for his biographical writings on artists in "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects," brought his unique combination of artistic talent and historical insight to the project, creating a work that is both a masterpiece of Renaissance art and a valuable historical document.
