"Legend of St. Francis - 24. Canonization of St. Francis" 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. This series is located in the Upper Church of the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi in Assisi, Italy. The frescoes are considered some of Giotto's masterworks and mark a significant departure from the Byzantine style of painting that was prevalent at the time, introducing more naturalistic figures and a greater sense of depth.

The 24th scene in the series, "Canonization of St. Francis," commemorates the moment when St. Francis was declared a saint by the Catholic Church. The fresco captures the event that took place only two years after his death, in 1228, under the authority of Pope Gregory IX. This particular work is notable for its depiction of a papal ceremony and the multitude of figures in attendance, showcasing Giotto's skill in composing complex scenes with multiple characters and his ability to convey a sense of solemnity and grandeur.

In the fresco, St. Francis is shown posthumously, with his stigmata visible, while a crowd of onlookers, including clergy and laypeople, witness the momentous event. The architecture and spatial arrangement within the painting suggest a sophisticated understanding of perspective, which was innovative for the time. Giotto's use of color, gesture, and facial expression helps to convey the emotional intensity of the scene.

The "Legend of St. Francis" frescoes have been influential in the history of art, as they represent a significant step towards the Renaissance style of painting. The "Canonization of St. Francis" is a key example of Giotto's contribution to the development of Western art, and it remains an important work for both its artistic and historical significance.
