"Scenes from the Life of Saint Francis - 4. Death and Ascension of St Francis (detail 3)" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master 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 one of the most venerated religious figures in Christianity.

The fresco in question, "Death and Ascension of St Francis," depicts the moment of Saint Francis's passing into heaven, marking the culmination of his earthly life and his entrance into sainthood. Giotto's mastery of narrative and emotion is evident in the composition, which captures the solemnity and spiritual significance of the event. The fresco is characterized by Giotto's innovative use of space, perspective, and his ability to convey the human experience with a newfound naturalism that would come to define the early Renaissance.

In this particular detail, Giotto portrays the gathered friars and followers of Saint Francis who mourn his death, while also celebrating his ascension. The expressions of grief and reverence on the faces of the figures reflect Giotto's skill in human characterization and his understanding of the psychological impact of such a momentous event. The fresco is a testament to the artist's ability to blend the earthly with the divine, creating a scene that is both intimate and transcendent.

As an early example of Renaissance art, "Death and Ascension of St Francis" marks a departure from the stylized and symbolic art of the Middle Ages and ushers in a new era of artistic expression focused on realism and the human experience. Giotto's work on the frescoes in the Bardi Chapel, including this poignant scene, is often cited as a significant influence on later Renaissance artists and is celebrated for its historical and artistic importance.
