The Cortona Polyptych is a significant work of Italian medieval art attributed to the influential painter Giotto di Bondone, or simply Giotto (c. 1267 – January 8, 1337). This polyptych, a multi-paneled altarpiece, is notable for its historical and artistic value, as it reflects the transition from Byzantine art to the more naturalistic style that characterizes the Renaissance. Giotto is often credited with being one of the first artists to break away from the rigid, stylized figures of the Byzantine tradition, introducing a sense of three-dimensionality and emotional depth to his figures.

The Cortona Polyptych, originally created for the Church of San Domenico in Cortona, is now housed in the Diocesan Museum (Museo Diocesano) of Cortona, Italy. The work is believed to have been executed in the later part of Giotto's career, around 1320, although the exact date remains uncertain. The polyptych consists of several panels that, when assembled, depict various saints and biblical scenes, with the central panel traditionally featuring the Madonna and Child. This central image is often flanked by panels depicting saints and angels, and sometimes includes a predella, a series of smaller panels along the bottom, illustrating scenes from the life of Christ or the saints featured in the main panels.

The Cortona Polyptych is particularly admired for its use of color and light, as well as the humanization of the sacred figures it portrays. Giotto's work on this piece exemplifies his skill in creating a narrative through art, with each panel contributing to an overarching story of faith and devotion. The polyptych's composition and the individual expressions of the figures reflect Giotto's innovative approach to painting, which had a profound influence on the development of Western art.

The attribution of the Cortona Polyptych to Giotto has been a subject of scholarly debate, with some experts suggesting the involvement of his workshop or followers. Despite these discussions, the work remains an important example of Giotto's legacy and a testament to the artist's pivotal role in the evolution of European painting. The Cortona Polyptych continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and as a reflection of the religious and cultural context of 14th-century Italy.
