"Scenes from the Life of St. John the Evangelist: 3. Ascension of the Evangelist" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, created around 1320. This work is part of a series of frescoes that depict various episodes from the life of St. John the Evangelist, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the author of the Gospel of John. The fresco is believed to have been commissioned for the Peruzzi Chapel in the Church of Santa Croce in Florence, which houses a cycle of paintings dedicated to the lives of St. John the Evangelist and St. John the Baptist.

The "Ascension of the Evangelist" fresco illustrates the moment when St. John is assumed into heaven, a theme that is less commonly depicted in art compared to the Ascension of Christ. Giotto's mastery of composition and his innovative approach to depicting human emotion and spatial depth are evident in this work. The fresco showcases the artist's departure from the Byzantine style that dominated prior centuries, moving towards a more naturalistic representation that would come to define the early Renaissance.

Giotto's frescoes in the Peruzzi Chapel are celebrated for their narrative clarity and the psychological realism of the figures. In the "Ascension of the Evangelist," the onlookers' varied reactions to the miraculous event are rendered with particular attention to detail, conveying a sense of wonder and devotion. The fresco's state of preservation, as with many of Giotto's works, has been a subject of concern, but it remains a significant example of the artist's contribution to the development of Western art.

As one of the most influential figures in the history of art, Giotto's work marks a pivotal point in the transition from medieval to Renaissance art. His frescoes, including the "Ascension of the Evangelist," are considered foundational in the study of art history, reflecting both the religious fervor of the period and the growing interest in humanism and the natural world.
