"The Woman Clothed with the Sun and the Seven-Headed Dragon" is a notable fresco created by the Italian painter Giusto de' Menabuoi between 1360 and 1370. This artwork is a vivid representation of a scene from the Book of Revelation (12:1-17), a text rich with symbolic imagery, depicting the woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head, being pursued by a seven-headed dragon. Giusto de' Menabuoi, active during the Italian Renaissance, was renowned for his mastery in fresco painting, a technique involving the application of pigment on freshly laid lime plaster, allowing the paint to become an integral part of the wall surface.

The fresco is located in the Padua Baptistery, also known as the Baptistery of the Cathedral of Padua, which houses one of the most comprehensive cycles of Menabuoi's work. The artist was commissioned by Fina Buzzaccarini, the wife of Francesco il Vecchio da Carrara, the lord of Padua, to decorate the baptistery. This commission was part of a larger project to renovate the religious building, reflecting the patron's devotion and the cultural flourishing of Padua during the Carrara lordship.

In "The Woman Clothed with the Sun and the Seven-Headed Dragon," Menabuoi demonstrates his skillful use of color and his ability to convey complex theological themes through art. The fresco is celebrated for its detailed depiction of the figures and its dynamic composition, which captures the dramatic tension of the biblical narrative. The woman, often interpreted as a symbol of the Church, the Virgin Mary, or the people of God, stands as a figure of divine protection and maternal care, contrasting with the menacing dragon, representing evil and chaos.

This artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its theological implications, offering insight into medieval interpretations of the Book of Revelation and the broader Christian cosmology. Menabuoi's fresco is a testament to the rich tradition of biblical exegesis in art and stands as a remarkable example of 14th-century Italian religious painting.
