"Scenes from the Old Testament" is a series of frescoes attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, a seminal figure in the pre-Renaissance period. These frescoes are part of a larger body of work that decorates the walls of the Scrovegni Chapel (also known as the Arena Chapel) in Padua, Italy, which is considered one of the masterpieces of Western art. The chapel was commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni in 1303, and Giotto's work on the chapel is dated to around 1305.

The "Scenes from the Old Testament" are located in the upper register of the north wall and are believed to complement the Life of Christ and Life of the Virgin sequences that dominate the narrative cycle of the chapel. These Old Testament scenes provide a typological prefiguration of the New Testament events depicted in the main body of the frescoes. The scenes include significant moments such as the Creation of the World, the Creation of Adam and Eve, the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden, and other key episodes leading up to the story of Noah and the Flood.

Giotto's innovative approach to painting, characterized by a newfound naturalism and emotional expressiveness, is evident in these frescoes. His use of chiaroscuro, the careful arrangement of figures in space, and the depiction of human emotion were revolutionary for the time and marked a departure from the stylized figures and flat backgrounds typical of Byzantine art. The frescoes' narrative clarity and the humanistic portrayal of biblical figures had a profound influence on the development of Renaissance art.

The "Scenes from the Old Testament" are celebrated for their artistic significance and their role in the evolution of European painting. The frescoes have been extensively studied for their iconography, style, and Giotto's innovative techniques. Due to their age and the delicate nature of fresco painting, they have undergone various restorations over the centuries to preserve their condition for future generations. The Scrovegni Chapel, along with Giotto's frescoes, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021, recognizing its outstanding universal value to humanity.
