"St. Eloi Before King Clotarius" is a fresco attributed to the early Italian Renaissance painter Taddeo Gaddi. The artwork is believed to depict the historical event of Saint Eligius (also known as Eloi), a goldsmith and later the Bishop of Noyon, presenting before King Chlothar II (referred to as Clotarius in the title), who ruled the Frankish kingdom of Neustria from 584 to 629. The scene likely illustrates a moment from the life of Saint Eligius, renowned for his piety and craftsmanship, which led to his appointment as the master of the mint under King Clotarius.

Taddeo Gaddi was a prominent Florentine painter and architect, active during the first half of the 14th century. He was a pupil and godson of the famous Italian painter Giotto di Bondone and is considered one of his most talented followers. Gaddi's work is characterized by its narrative clarity and the use of color, which was influential in the development of Florentine art.

The fresco "St. Eloi Before King Clotarius" would have been part of a larger series of works depicting the life of Saint Eligius, a common subject in medieval and Renaissance art due to the saint's popularity. Such frescoes were often commissioned for churches or chapels dedicated to the saint, serving both a devotional and educational purpose by illustrating his life and virtues.

While the exact location and current condition of the fresco "St. Eloi Before King Clotarius" are not specified, works by Taddeo Gaddi can be found in various churches and museums, including the Basilica of Santa Croce and the Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
