"Scenes from the Life of Saint Francis: 2. Renunciation of Worldly Goods (detail)" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created around 1325. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Bardi Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence. The series illustrates various episodes from the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan order, and is considered one of Giotto's masterpieces, showcasing his revolutionary approach to art.

The "Renunciation of Worldly Goods" scene depicts a pivotal moment in the life of Saint Francis, where he publicly renounces his father's wealth and earthly possessions to live a life of poverty and service to God. In the fresco, Francis is shown standing in the center, naked, symbolizing his rejection of materialism. The bishop of Assisi covers Francis with his cloak, indicating the Church's protection over him. On the left, Francis's father, a wealthy cloth merchant, reacts with anger and despair at his son's decision. Giotto's use of expressive gestures and emotional intensity in the figures' faces is characteristic of his innovative style, which broke away from the symbolic and static representations of the medieval tradition.

Giotto's frescoes in the Bardi Chapel, including "Renunciation of Worldly Goods," mark a significant development in the history of Western art. They demonstrate a move towards naturalism, a focus on narrative clarity, and the use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of three-dimensionality. The frescoes had a profound influence on later artists and are considered key works in the proto-Renaissance period.

This particular scene is celebrated for its dramatic composition and the way Giotto conveys the emotional gravity of the event. It is a testament to the artist's ability to combine theological themes with human drama, making the divine narrative accessible and relatable to viewers of his time and beyond. The "Renunciation of Worldly Goods" remains a significant example of Giotto's contribution to the visual language of Western art and his enduring legacy in the realm of religious painting.
