"Legend of St. Francis- 22. Verification of the Stigmata (detail 1)" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created around the year 1300. It is part of a series of 28 frescoes depicting the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, located in the Upper Church of the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, Italy. This particular work illustrates a pivotal moment in the life of Saint Francis, the verification of the stigmata, which are the wounds corresponding to those of Christ received during the crucifixion.

The fresco captures the intense spiritual and emotional moment when the truth of Saint Francis's stigmata is confirmed by his fellow friars. Giotto's mastery in conveying the narrative and his innovative approach to painting is evident in the composition, use of color, and the expressive gestures of the figures. The fresco is a testament to Giotto's ability to create a powerful visual story that communicates the sanctity and piety of Saint Francis, as well as the awe and reverence of those around him.

Giotto di Bondone, often considered the father of Renaissance painting, played a crucial role in the development of Western art. His work on the Legend of St. Francis series showcases his break from the Byzantine style of the time and his movement towards more naturalistic representations. "Verification of the Stigmata" stands as a significant example of Giotto's contribution to the narrative fresco technique and his influence on the evolution of European painting.

The fresco remains an important cultural and religious artifact, attracting scholars and visitors alike to the Basilica of Saint Francis to witness Giotto's interpretation of the saint's life. The entire series, including "Verification of the Stigmata," is considered a masterpiece of pre-Renaissance art and a cornerstone in the history of Western art.
