Giotto di Bondone painted the moment when Pope Honorius III confirmed the Franciscan Rule. This fresco is part of the Legend of Saint Francis cycle in Assisi. Giotto's figures possess a weight and humanity new to medieval painting.
The frescoes at Assisi represent a turning point in Western art, moving toward naturalism. This scene is painted on the walls of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi.
