"Legend of St Francis: 25. Dream of St Gregory" 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. The "Dream of St Gregory" scene is one of the 28 frescoes that make up the cycle, which is considered one of Giotto's masterpieces and a seminal work for the development of Western art.

The fresco illustrates a moment from the "Legend of St Francis," specifically the dream of Pope Gregory IX, in which he sees St. Francis supporting the crumbling Church of San Giovanni in Laterano, symbolizing St. Francis's role in the renewal of the Church. Giotto's work is renowned for its narrative clarity and emotional depth, qualities that are evident in this fresco. The artist's use of space, composition, and his revolutionary approach to depicting human expression and movement marked a departure from the stylized Byzantine art of the period and laid the groundwork for the naturalism that would characterize Renaissance art.

The "Legend of St Francis" frescoes are notable for their innovative use of chiaroscuro and perspective, which give the scenes a three-dimensional quality and a sense of realism. In the "Dream of St Gregory" fresco, Giotto's skillful use of these techniques can be seen in the architectural elements and the figures' drapery, as well as in the emotional intensity conveyed through the gestures and faces of the characters.

As part of the Franciscan cycle, the "Dream of St Gregory" contributes to the overall narrative that celebrates the life and virtues of St. Francis, reflecting the spiritual and artistic ideals of the time. The fresco is a key example of Giotto's impact on the visual arts and his role in the transition from medieval to Renaissance art. It remains an important work for the study of art history and continues to be admired for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
