"Death of St. Francis and Inspection of Stigmata, Detail 2" is a fresco attributed to the early Italian Renaissance master Giotto di Bondone, created in the 1320s. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the Bardi Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence, and it depicts the moment of St. Francis of Assisi's death and the subsequent examination of the stigmata on his body. Giotto, renowned for his contributions to the development of a more naturalistic approach to painting, captures the emotional intensity of the scene with a dramatic composition and a keen attention to human expression.

The fresco illustrates the narrative from the life of St. Francis, where, upon his death, his followers gather around to mourn and to witness the miraculous stigmata—the wounds corresponding to those of Christ's crucifixion—which had appeared on Francis's body. Detail 2 of the fresco focuses on the inspection of the stigmata, a poignant moment that underscores the saint's divine connection and his role as a Christ-like figure.

Giotto's innovative use of chiaroscuro, the treatment of light and shadow, and his ability to convey depth and volume in the figures, mark a significant departure from the stylized Byzantine art that preceded the Renaissance. The fresco's composition, with its careful arrangement of figures and the emotional resonance of their gestures, exemplifies Giotto's mastery in storytelling through visual art.

As one of the seminal works in the oeuvre of Giotto, the "Death of St. Francis and Inspection of Stigmata, Detail 2" is a vital piece in the history of Western art, reflecting the transition towards a more human-centered and experiential approach to religious subjects. It remains a testament to Giotto's influence on the evolution of European painting and his enduring legacy as one of the pioneers of the Renaissance.
