"The Dream of St. Martin" is a significant fresco created by the renowned Italian painter Simone Martini in 1321. This work is part of a larger cycle of frescoes that Martini painted in the Chapel of St. Martin in the Lower Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi, Italy. Simone Martini, a master of the Sienese school, is celebrated for his refined and elegant style, which contributed to the development of Gothic art in Italy.

The fresco depicts a pivotal moment in the life of St. Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier who later became a bishop and is venerated as a saint. In the scene, St. Martin is shown asleep, experiencing a divine vision. According to the legend, Martin, after having shared his cloak with a beggar, dreamt of Jesus Christ wearing the same cloak, affirming his act of charity. This moment is crucial as it signifies Martin's deep compassion and his eventual conversion to Christianity.

Martini's fresco is notable for its delicate use of color, intricate details, and the graceful figures that populate the scene. The artist's skillful application of tempera and his ability to convey narrative through expressive gestures and facial expressions are evident in this work. The fresco is also an excellent example of Martini's ability to blend the naturalistic tendencies of the Gothic style with the spiritual and symbolic elements of religious art.

The Chapel of St. Martin, where the fresco is located, is an important site for art historians and scholars studying the evolution of Italian fresco painting. Martini's work in this chapel, including "The Dream of St. Martin," showcases his mastery and his influence on subsequent generations of artists. The fresco remains a testament to Simone Martini's artistic legacy and his contribution to the rich tapestry of medieval Italian art.
