"Legend of St Francis- 17. St Francis Preaching before Honorius III" 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 San Francesco d'Assisi. These frescoes illustrate the life of St. Francis of Assisi and are considered among the most important works of Giotto, a pioneer of the Italian Renaissance.

The 17th scene in the series depicts a momentous event in the life of St. Francis, where he is shown delivering a sermon before Pope Honorius III. The fresco captures the essence of St. Francis's charisma and his ability to communicate his spiritual message to the highest religious authority of the time. Giotto's mastery is evident in the composition, the use of space, and the depiction of the figures, which convey a sense of depth and realism that was revolutionary for its time.

In this particular detail of the fresco, the focus is on St. Francis as he stands before the Pope and his cardinals. The saint's humble demeanor and expressive gestures contrast with the more formal and reserved postures of the ecclesiastical audience, emphasizing the narrative of his simple piety challenging the established Church. Giotto's use of color, light, and shadow contributes to the dramatic effect and highlights the emotional intensity of the scene.

The "Legend of St Francis" frescoes are widely recognized for their historical and artistic significance, marking a departure from the Byzantine style prevalent in the Middle Ages and heralding a new naturalism that would come to define the Renaissance. The fresco of St. Francis preaching before Honorius III is a key example of Giotto's innovative approach to storytelling through art, and it remains an invaluable piece of cultural heritage that offers insight into the religious and social context of the period.
