"Scene from the Life of St. Francis" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Taddeo Gaddi, a pupil of Giotto and an important figure in the early Florentine Renaissance. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that depict the life of St. Francis of Assisi and is located in the Bardi Chapel of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. The Bardi Chapel frescoes are considered one of Gaddi's most significant works and date back to the mid-14th century, specifically around the 1320s to the early 1330s.

The fresco captures a moment from the hagiography of St. Francis, illustrating the saint's humility, piety, and miracles, which were central themes in the religious and artistic narratives of the time. Gaddi's work is noted for its narrative clarity and emotional expressiveness, characteristics that reflect the influence of his teacher, Giotto, who revolutionized the depiction of space, light, and figure in painting.

In "Scene from the Life of St. Francis," Gaddi employs a Gothic style with a refined use of color and attention to detail. The fresco is part of a larger cycle that was commissioned by the wealthy Bardi family, who were prominent bankers and supporters of the Franciscan order. The cycle's scenes are a testament to the devotional practices and artistic patronage of the period, offering insight into the religious life and cultural context of 14th-century Florence.

The fresco has been the subject of art historical study and conservation efforts, as it represents a key example of the transition from medieval to Renaissance art in Italy. Its condition and the attribution to Taddeo Gaddi have been analyzed through various technological methods and scholarly research, contributing to the understanding of the artist's technique and the fresco's place within the broader scope of Italian Renaissance art.
