"Marriage of St. Francis to Lady Poverty" is a celebrated Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Stefano di Giovanni, commonly known as Sassetta. Created between 1437 and 1444, this work is a significant example of Sienese painting and is renowned for its intricate detail, rich symbolism, and the fusion of Gothic and Renaissance elements. The painting depicts the allegorical wedding of St. Francis of Assisi to Lady Poverty, a theme that illustrates the saint's commitment to a life of simplicity and his renunciation of material wealth.

The artwork is part of a larger narrative cycle that once adorned the altarpiece of the Church of San Francesco in Sansepolcro, Tuscany. Sassetta's portrayal of the mystical union is imbued with a sense of divine joy and spiritual profundity, reflecting the Franciscan ideals of humility, charity, and devotion to God. The figures of St. Francis and Lady Poverty are set against a celestial backdrop, surrounded by a host of angels and witnesses, including personifications of Chastity and Obedience, who are also wedded to the saint in this spiritual ceremony.

Sassetta's use of color, light, and composition in the "Marriage of St. Francis to Lady Poverty" demonstrates his mastery of the Sienese style, which is characterized by its elegance, decorative quality, and emphasis on narrative. The painting's iconography and the inclusion of specific Franciscan symbols serve to deepen the viewer's understanding of St. Francis's teachings and his impact on Christian spirituality.
