"The Blessed Agostino Novello Assigning The Habit Of The Hospital To The Rector" is a notable 15th-century fresco by the Italian painter Lorenzo di Pietro, commonly known as Vecchietta. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that Vecchietta painted for the Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, Italy, which was one of the oldest hospitals in Europe, serving as a major care facility for pilgrims, the poor, and abandoned children.

The fresco depicts a significant moment in the history of the hospital: the blessed Agostino Novello, who was the rector of the hospital and a prominent figure in Sienese history, is shown bestowing the hospital's habit, or official garment, upon the new rector. This act symbolizes the transfer of authority and the continuation of the hospital's charitable mission.

Vecchietta's work is characterized by its detailed narrative style and its use of perspective, which was innovative for the time. The fresco showcases his skill in creating a sense of depth and space, as well as his ability to capture the human form with realism and expressiveness. The use of color and light in the fresco reflects the influence of the Sienese school of painting, which was known for its vibrant palette and attention to detail.

The fresco is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its historical context, as it provides insight into the social and religious functions of one of the most important civic institutions in medieval Siena. Today, the fresco remains an important piece of the cultural heritage of the city and is a testament to Vecchietta's contribution to the art of the Italian Renaissance.
