"Legend of St. Francis: 1. Homage of a Simple Man" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, painted around 1300 as part of a series depicting the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Located in the Upper Church of the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi, this work is one of a cycle of 28 frescoes that illustrate the saint's life and legacy. Giotto's frescoes in Assisi mark a significant departure from the Byzantine style prevalent in Italian painting at the time, introducing more naturalistic figures and a pioneering use of chiaroscuro to create depth and volume.

The "Homage of a Simple Man" scene captures a moment of spiritual recognition and humility, as a layman, struck by the sanctity of St. Francis, pays his respects by removing his cloak and laying it at the feet of the saint. This act of veneration highlights the profound impact of St. Francis's teachings and the respect he garnered from people of all social standings. Giotto's mastery in conveying emotion and narrative through composition and gesture is evident in this fresco, as is his ability to create a sense of space and environment that would influence the course of Western art.

As part of the larger fresco cycle, "Legend of St. Francis: 1. Homage of a Simple Man" contributes to the understanding of St. Francis's life and the Franciscan Order's values, while also showcasing Giotto's innovative approach to painting. The frescoes are considered a masterpiece of pre-Renaissance art and are crucial for the study of Giotto's work and the development of Italian Renaissance painting.
