No. 5 Scenes from the Life of Joachim - 5. Joachim's Dream is a fresco by the Italian master Giotto di Bondone, painted around 1304-1306 as part of a larger cycle depicting the life of the Virgin Mary in the Scrovegni Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni) in Padua, Italy. This work is one of a series that illustrates the story of Mary's parents, Joachim and Anna, as described in the apocryphal Gospel of James, also known as the Protoevangelium of James. The series is significant for its narrative art and is considered a masterpiece of the early Renaissance.

The fresco depicts the moment when an angel appears to Joachim in a dream to announce that his wife, Anna, will bear a child. This event is crucial as it heralds the impending birth of the Virgin Mary, who is central to the Christian narrative. Giotto's innovative use of space, emotion, and his departure from the Byzantine style that dominated prior to his era are evident in this work. His ability to convey complex emotions and to create a sense of depth and volume in the figures marked a turning point in the history of Western art.

The Scrovegni Chapel frescoes are widely regarded as some of Giotto's finest work and are notable for their emotional realism and the humanization of sacred figures. In Joachim's Dream, Giotto's skill in storytelling through art is apparent, as he captures the moment of divine intervention in a way that viewers can empathize with Joachim's experience. The fresco is part of a larger narrative cycle that was revolutionary in its coherent visual storytelling and had a profound influence on the development of Renaissance art.

The Scrovegni Chapel and its frescoes were commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, a wealthy Paduan banker, as part of a family chapel attached to his palace. The chapel was dedicated to Santa Maria della Carità and is also known as the Arena Chapel due to its proximity to the remains of a Roman arena. The frescoes were completed over a two-year period and are considered one of the most complete and well-preserved examples of 14th-century Italian fresco cycles.
