"Franciscan Allegories: Allegory of Chastity" is a fresco by the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, created around 1330. This work is part of a series of allegorical frescoes located in the Lower Church of the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, Italy. These frescoes are significant for their role in the development of Italian Renaissance art and for their thematic representation of the ideals and virtues of the Franciscan Order, founded by Saint Francis of Assisi.

The "Allegory of Chastity" depicts an idealized representation of the virtue of chastity, which was highly esteemed by the Franciscan monks. The fresco is characterized by Giotto's innovative use of space, form, and light, which marked a departure from the flat, symbolic style of medieval art and a move towards more naturalistic representation. In the fresco, Chastity is personified and typically shown within a fortress or enclosed garden, symbolizing the guarded and pure nature of the virtue.

Giotto di Bondone (c. 1267 – January 8, 1337), often known simply as Giotto, was a pivotal figure in the pre-Renaissance period, whose works laid the foundation for the later explosion of artistic innovation in Italy. His frescoes in Assisi are considered some of his most important contributions to the history of Western art. The "Franciscan Allegories" are particularly noted for their narrative quality and the way they convey complex spiritual and moral messages through visual means.

The "Allegory of Chastity" is not only a testament to Giotto's artistic skill but also a reflection of the religious and cultural values of the time. The fresco has been studied extensively by art historians and remains a key example of Giotto's impact on the visual arts, as well as a significant artifact of Franciscan heritage.
