"Legend of St. Francis- 13. Institution of the Crib at Greccio (detail)" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created between 1297 and 1300. This work is part of a series of 28 frescoes that adorn the walls of the Upper Church of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. These frescoes depict scenes from the life of Saint Francis and are considered to be among Giotto's masterpieces, marking a significant development in the history of Western art.

The "Institution of the Crib at Greccio" specifically illustrates a moment from the life of Saint Francis when he is said to have created the first nativity scene in the town of Greccio, Italy, on Christmas Eve 1223. The fresco captures the emotional and spiritual essence of this event, showcasing Francis' devotion and his innovative approach to preaching and teaching the Christian faith.

Giotto's fresco is celebrated for its narrative clarity, emotional depth, and innovative use of space and perspective. The artist's ability to convey complex human emotions and interactions through gestures and expressions was groundbreaking for the time and contributed to the development of a more naturalistic style in European painting.

The fresco is a key example of Giotto's contribution to the early Renaissance, as it moves away from the stylized Byzantine art that preceded it and towards a more realistic representation of figures and space. The "Institution of the Crib at Greccio" is not only a religious artwork but also an important cultural artifact that reflects the changing dynamics of art, religion, and society in late medieval Italy.
