"St. Francis Giving His Cloak to a Poor Man" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, created between 1295 and 1300. This work is part of a series of frescoes that depict the life of St. Francis of Assisi and is located in the Upper Church of the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy. Giotto, renowned for his contributions to the Italian Renaissance and his break from the Byzantine style prevalent in his time, is credited with bringing a new level of realism to painting.

The fresco illustrates a moment from the early life of St. Francis, before his full religious conversion, when he encounters a nobleman who has fallen on hard times. Moved by compassion, Francis removes his rich cloak and offers it to the man, symbolizing his burgeoning spiritual awareness and commitment to a life of poverty and service. This act is often considered one of the key events that led to Francis's complete dedication to a life of poverty and piety.

Giotto's depiction of this scene is noted for its emotional depth and the use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of three-dimensionality, a technique that was revolutionary at the time. The fresco is also significant for its narrative clarity and the way it conveys the saint's compassion through the gestures and expressions of the figures. As part of the larger cycle of frescoes in the Basilica of St. Francis, this work contributes to the overall storytelling of St. Francis's life and the values he embodied.

The "St. Francis Giving His Cloak to a Poor Man" fresco is considered an important example of Giotto's early work and a masterpiece of pre-Renaissance art. It showcases the artist's ability to convey complex human emotions and his departure from the more rigid and stylized forms of medieval art, setting the stage for the naturalism that would characterize Renaissance painting.
