Taddeo Gaddi's "Saint Francis Raises a Child from the Dead" is a notable fresco that forms part of the extensive cycle of frescoes in the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. Created in the 14th century, this work is a testament to Gaddi's skill and his role as a prominent figure in the early Italian Renaissance. Gaddi, a pupil of the renowned Giotto di Bondone, was instrumental in carrying forward the stylistic innovations of his master, particularly in the use of perspective and narrative detail.

The fresco depicts a miraculous event attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi, showcasing his legendary compassion and divine intervention. In the scene, Saint Francis is portrayed as reviving a child, a miracle that underscores his sanctity and the power of faith. The composition is characterized by Gaddi's use of vivid colors and expressive figures, which convey the drama and emotion of the moment. The figures are arranged in a dynamic composition that guides the viewer's eye towards the central miracle.

Gaddi's work is significant for its narrative clarity and the way it captures the human emotions involved in the miracle. The fresco is part of a larger series that illustrates the life and miracles of Saint Francis, reflecting the saint's importance in the religious and cultural life of the period. The series as a whole is an important example of the transition from the medieval to the early Renaissance style, with Gaddi's work demonstrating a move towards more naturalistic representation and spatial depth.

The Basilica of Santa Croce, where the fresco is located, is a key site for art and history enthusiasts, housing works by other masters such as Giotto and Donatello. Gaddi's contribution to the basilica's decoration highlights his significance in the development of Italian fresco painting and his role in perpetuating the legacy of Giotto's artistic innovations.
