"Death of St. Francis and Inspection of Stigmata, Detail 1, 1320s" is a fresco by the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, a pivotal figure in the pre-Renaissance period who is renowned for his contributions to the development of realistic representation in Western art. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Bardi Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence, which is dedicated to the life of St. Francis of Assisi.

Created in the 1320s, the fresco captures the moment of St. Francis's death and the subsequent examination of the stigmata, the wounds resembling those of Christ's crucifixion that miraculously appeared on Francis's body. Giotto's portrayal is noted for its emotional depth and the humanistic approach to the depiction of the saint and the surrounding figures. The fresco stands as a testament to Giotto's mastery of narrative and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through visual means.

The composition of the fresco is carefully structured to guide the viewer's attention to the central event. St. Francis is depicted lying on a bier, surrounded by his followers who express a range of emotions from grief to awe. The inspection of the stigmata by one of the monks underscores the miraculous nature of St. Francis's life and the divine approval of his piety.

Giotto's innovative use of chiaroscuro, the technique of using light and shadow to create the illusion of depth, is evident in this work. His ability to create lifelike figures and to imbue them with a sense of individual character was unprecedented at the time and marked a significant departure from the stylized and symbolic art of the Middle Ages.

The "Death of St. Francis and Inspection of Stigmata, Detail 1" is an integral part of the Bardi Chapel frescoes and is considered one of Giotto's most important works. It not only reflects the religious fervor of the period but also serves as a crucial milestone in the history of art, signaling the transition from medieval to Renaissance styles. The fresco's historical and artistic significance makes it a subject of continued study and admiration.
