The San Marco Altarpiece, also known as the Polyptych of San Marco, is a renowned work of art by the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, one of the most significant artists of the early Renaissance. Created around 1334, this altarpiece was originally commissioned for the church of San Marco in Florence, which was at that time a Dominican convent. The work is a polyptych, a multi-paneled altarpiece that was a popular format during the Gothic and early Renaissance periods.

Giotto's San Marco Altarpiece is celebrated for its departure from the Byzantine style that dominated Italian painting prior to the 14th century. Giotto's innovative approach to composition, figure representation, and spatial illusion marked a significant transition towards more naturalistic forms of expression, which would come to define the Renaissance art movement. The altarpiece is composed of several panels, with the central panel depicting the Virgin and Child enthroned, flanked by angels and saints. This central image is surrounded by smaller panels, each illustrating individual saints or scenes from Christian theology.

The San Marco Altarpiece is notable for its use of color, light, and shadow to create a sense of volume and depth, characteristics that were groundbreaking at the time of its creation. Giotto's figures are imbued with a sense of weight and presence, as he moved away from the ethereal and elongated figures typical of the Byzantine style, towards more realistic and human depictions.

Over the centuries, the altarpiece has undergone various restorations and has been disassembled, with its panels dispersed to different locations. Today, the majority of the panels are held in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, allowing art historians and the public to appreciate Giotto's mastery and his pivotal role in the development of Western art.

The San Marco Altarpiece remains a critical object of study for its artistic and historical significance, exemplifying Giotto's contributions to the evolution of painting and his influence on subsequent generations of artists. Its preservation and display continue to offer insight into the religious, cultural, and aesthetic values of 14th-century Italy.
