"St Nicholas Saving Three Innocents from Decapitation" is a notable early 14th-century fresco attributed to the Italian painter Palmerino di Guido. Created around 1300-1301, this work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi, Italy. The fresco depicts a legendary episode from the life of Saint Nicholas of Myra, a 4th-century Christian saint and the historical figure behind the folklore of Santa Claus.

In this scene, Palmerino di Guido illustrates the miracle of Saint Nicholas intervening to save three innocent men from wrongful execution. According to the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies, Saint Nicholas, known for his miraculous deeds and acts of charity, appeared at the execution site just in time to stay the executioner's hand, thus preventing the beheading of the three men who had been falsely accused and sentenced to death.

The fresco is a significant example of the art of the period, showcasing the Gothic style that was prevalent in Italy at the time. Palmerino di Guido's work is characterized by its narrative clarity, emotional expressiveness, and the use of vivid colors. The fresco is also an important reflection of the devotional practices and the veneration of saints in medieval Christianity, particularly the cult of Saint Nicholas, which was widespread across Europe.

"St Nicholas Saving Three Innocents from Decapitation" is a testament to the artistic and cultural milieu of Assisi during the late 13th and early 14th centuries, a time when the town was an important center for religious art due to the influence of Saint Francis of Assisi and the Franciscan Order. The fresco contributes to the rich tapestry of religious narratives depicted in the Basilica, which collectively serve as a visual catechism for the faithful and as an enduring legacy of medieval religious art.
