"Pope St. Sylvester's Miracle" is a 1340 fresco by the Italian painter Maso di Banco, also known as Maso di Bianco. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes located in the Bardi di Vernio Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence. The fresco depicts the legend of Pope Sylvester I, who is said to have miraculously cured a Roman Emperor from leprosy. According to the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies, the Emperor is often identified as Constantine the Great, although historical accuracy regarding this event is debated.

Maso di Banco was a pupil of Giotto and a prominent figure in the early Florentine Renaissance. His work is characterized by a strong narrative quality and an emphasis on architectural elements, which is evident in "Pope St. Sylvester's Miracle." The fresco showcases Maso's skill in creating spatial depth and his ability to convey complex religious stories through art.

The fresco is significant for its artistic and historical value, providing insight into the religious beliefs and artistic styles of 14th-century Florence. It is an example of the transition from medieval to Renaissance art, demonstrating the shift towards naturalism and the exploration of perspective. The work is also notable for its preservation of the original color palette and detail, which has survived over the centuries.

"Pope St. Sylvester's Miracle" is an important piece within the oeuvre of Maso di Banco and the development of Italian Renaissance art. It continues to be studied for its stylistic techniques and as a representation of the religious and cultural context of the time.
