"Legend of St Francis- 11. St Francis before the Sultan (Trial by Fire)" is a fresco painted by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone between 1297 and 1300. This artwork is part of a series of 28 frescoes depicting the life of St Francis of Assisi, located in the Upper Church of the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi in Assisi, Italy. The fresco specifically illustrates a significant episode from the life of St Francis, known as the Trial by Fire, which is said to have taken place during his mission to the Sultan of Egypt in an attempt to convert him to Christianity.

In this scene, St Francis is depicted standing confidently before the Sultan, proposing a test of faith by walking through fire, to prove the truth of the Christian doctrine. The Sultan, intrigued and somewhat apprehensive, is shown surrounded by his advisors and guards, observing St Francis's bold proposition. Giotto's mastery in composition and his ability to convey narrative and emotion is evident in this fresco. The artwork not only captures the dramatic tension of the moment but also reflects the broader themes of faith, courage, and interreligious dialogue.

This fresco is celebrated for its artistic significance and its role in the development of Italian Renaissance art. Giotto's use of chiaroscuro and realistic emotional expressions marked a departure from the stylized forms of Byzantine art and helped lay the groundwork for future generations of artists. The "Legend of St Francis- 11. St Francis before the Sultan (Trial by Fire)" remains a pivotal work in the study of Giotto's art and the visual storytelling of religious narratives.
