"The Preaching of the Antichrist" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Luca Signorelli, executed between 1499 and 1504. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the San Brizio Chapel (also known as the Cappella Nuova) in the Cathedral of Orvieto, Italy. Signorelli's frescoes in the chapel are considered one of his masterpieces and are among the most significant and influential examples of early 16th-century Italian art.

The fresco depicts a dramatic and unsettling scene in which the Antichrist, masquerading as a false prophet, preaches to a crowd of followers. Signorelli's portrayal of the Antichrist is notable for its psychological insight and the use of contemporary features, which has led to speculation that the figure was modeled after a real person, possibly Cesare Borgia. The Antichrist is shown with an eerily calm demeanor, surrounded by enraptured followers and demonic figures, while the true Christ is seen in the sky above, exposing the deception.

Signorelli's work on the chapel's frescoes, including "The Preaching of the Antichrist," was commissioned by the Opera del Duomo, the governing body of the cathedral, following the death of Fra Angelico, who had begun painting the chapel's vault. Signorelli's frescoes are celebrated for their innovative use of foreshortening and perspective, their dynamic compositions, and their detailed depictions of human anatomy, which would go on to influence later artists, including Michelangelo in his work on the Sistine Chapel.

"The Preaching of the Antichrist" is particularly admired for its vivid portrayal of human emotion and the artist's skillful rendering of a complex narrative scene. The fresco has been the subject of extensive art historical research and is often discussed in the context of Renaissance eschatological imagery and the cultural and political climate of Italy at the turn of the 16th century.
