The Funerary Monument to Sir John Hawkwood (Italian: Monumento funebre a Giovanni Acuto) is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Paolo Uccello, completed in 1436. It is located in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence, Italy. This monumental work is a significant example of early Renaissance art and reflects the era's evolving artistic techniques and perspectives, particularly in the use of perspective, which Uccello studied extensively.

Sir John Hawkwood (c. 1320–1394), an English mercenary (or condottiero) who led the White Company and served various Italian city-states during the 14th century, is the subject of the fresco. Hawkwood was a celebrated figure in his time, known for his military prowess and strategic acumen. After his death, the Florentine Republic commissioned Uccello to create a memorial in his honor, recognizing Hawkwood's contributions to Florence's military efforts.

The fresco is executed in monochrome, mimicking the appearance of a statue or relief carved in marble, a technique known as grisaille. This choice reflects both the artistic trends of the time and practical considerations, as it allowed for a monumental representation without the expense of a sculpted marble tomb. Uccello's work is notable for its detailed rendering and the innovative use of perspective, which gives the illusion of three-dimensionality to the figure of Hawkwood on horseback. The equestrian portrait is framed by an elaborate architectural setting, further emphasizing the depth and realism of the composition.

Uccello's Funerary Monument to Sir John Hawkwood is a masterpiece of Renaissance art, showcasing the artist's skill in perspective and his ability to convey dignity and grandeur. It remains a significant cultural and historical artifact, reflecting the complex interplay of art, politics, and society in 15th-century Florence.
