"Raising of the Boy in Sessa" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, created in the early 14th century, specifically within the 1310s. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Scrovegni Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni) in Padua, Italy, which is considered one of the masterpieces of Western art. The chapel and its frescoes were commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, a wealthy banker, as a family chapel and as a means to atone for the sins of usury committed by his family.

The "Raising of the Boy in Sessa" depicts a miracle from the life of Saint Anthony of Padua, a contemporary of Giotto and a figure deeply revered in Padua. According to the legend, Saint Anthony resurrected a young boy in the town of Sessa to testify against his murderer. Giotto's fresco captures the dramatic moment of the miracle with emotional intensity and narrative clarity, characteristics that mark Giotto's innovative approach to art.

In the fresco, Giotto employs his revolutionary use of chiaroscuro and perspective to create a sense of three-dimensionality and spatial depth, a significant departure from the flat and stylized figures of Byzantine art that preceded the Italian Renaissance. The figures are rendered with a naturalism and individuality that convey the human emotions involved in the miraculous event, from the astonishment of the onlookers to the serene confidence of Saint Anthony.

The fresco is part of a larger cycle that illustrates the lives of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ, as well as scenes from the life of Saint Joachim and Saint Anne. Giotto's work in the Scrovegni Chapel is widely regarded as a turning point in the history of art, marking the transition from medieval to Renaissance painting. The "Raising of the Boy in Sessa" stands as a testament to Giotto's mastery of narrative and his pivotal role in the development of Western art.

The Scrovegni Chapel, along with its frescoes, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986, ensuring the preservation and recognition of this important cultural and artistic treasure. Visitors to the chapel can witness the "Raising of the Boy in Sessa" in situ, where it continues to inspire awe and admiration for its artistic innovation and spiritual depth.
