"Scenes from the Life of Saint Francis: 4. Death and Ascension of St. Francis" is a fresco attributed to the early Italian Renaissance master Giotto di Bondone, dating to around 1325. This work is part of a series of frescoes that depict various episodes from the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, located in the Bardi Chapel of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. Giotto, renowned for his contributions to the development of realistic representation and emotional expressiveness in art, is believed to have painted these scenes, although there is some scholarly debate regarding the extent of his involvement and the possibility of his workshop's contribution.

The "Death and Ascension of St. Francis" is a particularly poignant scene within the series, capturing the moment of Saint Francis's passing and his soul's journey to heaven. The fresco illustrates the dual themes of mortality and divine transcendence, with the earthly death of the saint juxtaposed against the miraculous ascent of his spirit, often depicted as being received by Christ or a host of angels. Giotto's innovative use of composition, perspective, and human emotion is evident in this work, as he conveys the solemnity of the event and the profound impact of the saint's death on his followers.

The frescoes in the Bardi Chapel are considered some of the finest examples of Giotto's artistry and are significant for their narrative clarity and the depth of their devotional content. They mark a departure from the stylized Byzantine traditions that dominated prior centuries, heralding a new era in Western art where the naturalistic portrayal of figures and spaces would become paramount. The "Death and Ascension of St. Francis" stands as a testament to Giotto's mastery of fresco technique and his ability to communicate complex theological concepts through visual means.
