The Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese is a significant 13th-century illuminated manuscript associated with the artistic and religious culture of medieval Florence, Italy. Attributed to the Master of the Dominican Effigies, an anonymous Florentine painter active during the second half of the 13th century, this laudario—a collection of laude or religious songs of praise—was created for the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese, a confraternity devoted to Saint Agnes. The manuscript is renowned for its rich illustrations and the insight it provides into the devotional practices and community life of lay religious groups during the period.

The Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese is notable for its vibrant illuminations, which depict biblical scenes and saints with a blend of Byzantine iconography and the emerging naturalism that would characterize the Italian Renaissance. The manuscript's illuminations are considered masterpieces of Gothic art, reflecting the transition in European art from the medieval to the Renaissance period. The Master of the Dominican Effigies, though not identified by name, is recognized for his distinctive style that combines traditional iconography with a heightened sense of emotion and narrative.

The laudario itself is a collection of vernacular hymns intended for use during the confraternity's religious services and processions. These hymns were sung in the vernacular language, rather than Latin, making them accessible to a broader audience and reflecting the increasing importance of the vernacular in medieval religious life. The manuscript's texts and illuminations together provide a window into the spiritual and artistic milieu of Florence during a time of significant cultural transformation.

Today, the Laudario of the Compagnia di Sant'Agnese is considered an important artifact of medieval Italian art and piety. It is studied for its aesthetic beauty, its role in the history of Italian literature and music, and its contribution to our understanding of lay religious practices in the late Middle Ages. The manuscript is held in high esteem not only for its artistic value but also for the light it sheds on the social and religious dynamics of its time.
