"Prayer of Antonio Giacomini for the War with Pisa" is a fresco painted by the renowned Italian artist Giorgio Vasari in 1565. This work is part of the extensive decorative program for the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, which was the seat of government in the city and a symbol of the power of the Medici family. The fresco is one of several that adorn the ceiling of the grand hall, each illustrating significant events in the history of Florence under the rule of Cosimo I de' Medici.

The subject of the fresco captures a pivotal moment involving Antonio Giacomini, a prominent Florentine military leader during the early 15th century. The scene depicted is a dramatization of Giacomini's fervent prayer for divine assistance on the eve of a crucial battle against the rival city of Pisa, which was a recurring adversary of Florence during the Italian Wars. The fresco embodies the themes of patriotism, divine providence, and the valorization of Florentine historical figures, which were central to the iconography commissioned by the Medici to legitimize and glorify their rule.

Vasari, who was not only a painter but also an architect and writer, is perhaps best known for his biographies of Italian artists, "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects." His work in the Salone dei Cinquecento represents a high point in Mannerist art, characterized by complex compositions, elongated figures, and vibrant colors. The fresco contributes to the overall narrative of the ceiling, which exalts the Medici's leadership and the city's triumphs.

The "Prayer of Antonio Giacomini for the War with Pisa" is a testament to Vasari's skill in integrating art and politics, creating a visual representation of Florence's storied past that served to reinforce contemporary Medici authority. The fresco remains an important piece of Renaissance art and a historical artifact that offers insight into the cultural and political milieu of 16th-century Florence.
