This fresco, painted by Giotto in 1299 for the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, depicts the story of Saint Francis exorcising demons from the city of Arezzo. The artist's use of perspective, particularly in the depiction of the buildings and the figures, is a hallmark of his work. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the scene contribute to the overall narrative impact, highlighting the spiritual power of Saint Francis. The fresco is a significant example of early Renaissance art and reflects the transition from the Byzantine style to a more naturalistic and three-dimensional representation of the world.
