"Scenes from the Old Testament: Isaac Rejecting Esau" is a 13th-century fresco attributed to the Master of the Isaac Stories, an anonymous Italian painter active during the 1290s. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes depicting various episodes from the Old Testament, located in the Upper Church of the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi. The scene illustrates the biblical narrative from the Book of Genesis, where Isaac, who is old and blind, is deceived by his younger son Jacob into giving him the blessing intended for his elder son, Esau.

The fresco captures the moment of Esau's rejection, conveying the emotional intensity of the story through the gestures and expressions of the characters. Isaac is typically shown seated on a bed or a throne-like structure, with Esau standing before him in a state of despair, as he realizes that his brother has usurped his blessing. The Master of the Isaac Stories is recognized for his ability to convey complex narratives and human emotions, and this work is considered a fine example of his narrative artistry.

The fresco is significant for its historical and artistic value, as it provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of late 13th-century Italy. It also reflects the stylistic developments of the period, which were characterized by an increasing interest in naturalism and the depiction of spatial depth. The Master of the Isaac Stories' work is noted for its influence on subsequent generations of artists, and "Scenes from the Old Testament: Isaac Rejecting Esau" is a key example of the transition from Byzantine to proto-Renaissance art.

As with many medieval artworks, the exact identity of the Master of the Isaac Stories remains unknown, but his contributions to the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi are among the most important of the period. The fresco is part of a larger narrative cycle that was likely commissioned by the Franciscan community, which played a significant role in the promotion of visual arts as a means of religious education and contemplation.
