"The Church Militant and Triumphant (detail)" is a notable fresco by the Italian painter Andrea Bonaiuti, also known as Andrea da Firenze, created in the mid-14th century. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Spanish Chapel, which is located within the former Dominican convent of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. The frescoes are renowned for their vivid portrayal of religious themes and are considered a masterpiece of Gothic art.

The specific section referred to as "The Church Militant and Triumphant" depicts the glory of the Christian Church, with a dual representation of the Church on Earth (Militant) and the Church in Heaven (Triumphant). This allegorical representation is meant to inspire the faithful by showing the unity and hierarchy of the Christian cosmos, with Christ and the Virgin Mary at the apex, surrounded by angels, saints, and martyrs who have achieved salvation.

In the earthly realm, the fresco illustrates the various orders of the church, including popes, cardinals, bishops, and the laity, all of whom are engaged in the spiritual battle against sin and heresy. The Church Militant is shown actively defending the faith and spreading Christian doctrine, symbolizing the ongoing struggle to maintain the purity of Christian teachings and the faithful's journey towards redemption.

Andrea Bonaiuti's work is celebrated for its intricate detail, rich color palette, and the skillful incorporation of theological symbolism. The frescoes in the Spanish Chapel, including "The Church Militant and Triumphant (detail)," are considered an essential contribution to the understanding of 14th-century religious art and provide valuable insight into the religious and cultural context of the time.

The frescoes have been the subject of extensive art historical research and are often highlighted for their innovative use of perspective and narrative structure, which would influence the development of Italian Renaissance art. "The Church Militant and Triumphant (detail)" remains a significant work for scholars studying the intersection of art, theology, and history in medieval Europe.
