"Despair" (1302-1305) is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, located within the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that depict various scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary, as well as allegorical representations of virtues and vices. Giotto, renowned for his contributions to the development of a more naturalistic style of painting, is often considered one of the precursors of the Italian Renaissance.

The "Despair" fresco is thought to be part of the cycle illustrating the Vices, which serves as a counterpart to the Virtues depicted on the opposite wall. In this particular scene, Giotto captures the essence of despair through the portrayal of a figure that is often interpreted as being in a state of hopelessness and self-destruction. The use of expressive gestures and the depiction of emotional intensity were innovative for the time and reflect Giotto's skill in conveying complex human emotions.

The frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel are celebrated for their artistic significance and their role in the evolution of European painting. Giotto's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth, was groundbreaking. Additionally, his ability to create a narrative sequence through images made the Scrovegni Chapel one of the most important storytelling fresco cycles of its time.

"Despair" is integral to the overall thematic message of the chapel, which emphasizes the importance of Christian morality and the consequences of sin. As with the other frescoes in the chapel, Giotto's work on "Despair" demonstrates his mastery of composition, his innovative approach to depicting the human figure, and his profound impact on the course of Western art.
