"Legend of St Francis- 21. Apparition to Fra Agostino and to Bishop Guido of Arezzo" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Giotto di Bondone, painted around 1300 as part of a series depicting the life of St. Francis of Assisi in the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi, Italy. This particular work, which is the twenty-first scene in the series, illustrates a miraculous event in the life of St. Francis.

The fresco captures the moment when St. Francis appears posthumously to Fra Agostino and Bishop Guido of Arezzo. According to the stories of St. Francis, after his death, he appeared in a vision to these two devout followers to offer them comfort and guidance. Giotto's rendering of the scene is noted for its emotional depth and the use of chiaroscuro to highlight the spiritual presence of St. Francis.

In the composition, the saint is depicted as if he is descending from the heavens, surrounded by a mandorla of light, which emphasizes the divine nature of the apparition. Below, the figures of Fra Agostino and Bishop Guido are shown in a state of awe and reverence, with their gestures and facial expressions conveying a mix of astonishment and devotion. The fresco is celebrated for its narrative clarity and the way Giotto's innovative techniques contributed to the development of a more naturalistic style in Western art.

As part of the larger fresco cycle in the Upper Church of the Basilica, this work is considered a masterpiece of pre-Renaissance art and a pivotal example of Giotto's impact on the visual representation of religious themes. The entire cycle has been influential in the history of art, as it represents a significant departure from the Byzantine style that dominated prior to Giotto's era, moving towards greater naturalism and emotional expression. The "Legend of St Francis- 21. Apparition to Fra Agostino and to Bishop Guido of Arezzo" is an integral part of this transformative series, offering insight into the spiritual and artistic culture of the time.
