"The Defeat of Radagasio" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Giorgio Vasari, completed in 1565 as part of the extensive decorative program for the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. This grand hall was designed to be the seat of the Grand Council of 500 members after the Republic of Florence was reestablished in 1494. Vasari, who was not only a painter but also an architect and writer, was commissioned by Duke Cosimo I de' Medici to renovate the hall and create a series of artworks that would glorify the Medici regime and the history of Florence.

The fresco depicts the historical event of the defeat of the Gothic king Radagaisus, who led an invasion into Roman Italy in 405-406 AD but was ultimately defeated by the Roman general Stilicho. This subject was chosen to draw a parallel between the ancient Roman victory and the military successes of the Medici leadership. In Vasari's depiction, the scene is filled with dramatic action, showcasing his mastery of Mannerist style with elongated figures, dynamic composition, and a vivid color palette.

"The Defeat of Radagasio" is part of a larger series of frescoes that celebrate Florentine victories and the city's republican past. Vasari's work in the Salone dei Cinquecento is considered a significant contribution to the iconography of political power in Renaissance Florence, reflecting the grandeur and ambitions of the Medici dukes. The fresco stands as a testament to Vasari's skill as a painter and his ability to convey complex historical narratives through his art.
