"Three Scenes from the Story of Esther" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, created circa 1470. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Botticelli, whose real name was Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, was one of several artists commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV to decorate the chapel with scenes from the Old and New Testaments, contributing to what would become one of the most significant ensembles of Renaissance art.

The fresco illustrates three consecutive episodes from the biblical Book of Esther, which tells the story of a Jewish woman who becomes queen of Persia and saves her people from a massacre plotted by the king's advisor, Haman. The narrative sequence depicted in Botticelli's work captures the dramatic moments of Esther's approach to King Ahasuerus without being summoned, which could have resulted in her death; her fainting at the risk she has taken; and the king extending his golden scepter to her in a gesture of acceptance and mercy.

Botticelli's interpretation of the story is notable for its emotional intensity and the elegance of the figures, reflecting the artist's mastery of line and form. The fresco is characterized by its vivid colors, graceful compositions, and the delicate portrayal of the characters' expressions, which convey the gravity and tension of the scenes. The work is also significant for its depiction of Renaissance fashion, as Botticelli incorporated contemporary clothing styles into the biblical setting, thus bridging the gap between the sacred narrative and the world of the viewer.

As a part of the Sistine Chapel's fresco cycle, "Three Scenes from the Story of Esther" contributes to the overarching theme of divine intervention and salvation in human history, which is echoed throughout the chapel's iconography. Botticelli's fresco remains an important example of the artist's religious works and offers insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the late 15th century.
