The Scrovegni Chapel (Cappella degli Scrovegni), also known as the Arena Chapel, is a small church located in Padua, Veneto, Italy. It is one of the most important masterpieces of Western art because it houses a remarkable cycle of frescoes by the early Renaissance master Giotto di Bondone, completed about 1305. The fresco cycle depicts various scenes from the lives of the Virgin Mary and Christ, and is considered one of Giotto's greatest masterpieces.

The "Life of Christ" is a central theme in the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes and encompasses a series of scenes that narrate the pivotal events of Christ's life, from the Annunciation to the Resurrection and Ascension. These scenes are renowned for their revolutionary approach to art, as Giotto broke away from the stylized Byzantine tradition, introducing more naturalistic figures and a greater emotional depth that would profoundly influence the course of Renaissance art.

Among these scenes, the "Last Supper" holds a place of particular importance. Giotto's rendition of this iconic biblical event captures the moment of Jesus' final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. The fresco is noted for its humanization of the sacred narrative, as Giotto infuses the scene with a sense of intimacy and drama. The disciples are depicted with individualized expressions and gestures, conveying their various reactions to Jesus' announcement of his betrayal.

The Scrovegni Chapel and its frescoes were commissioned by the wealthy banker Enrico Scrovegni, who intended the chapel as an atonement for his father's sin of usury. The chapel itself was built on the site of an ancient Roman arena, which is reflected in its alternative name, the Arena Chapel. Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel are considered a landmark in the development of Western painting, as they mark a departure from the medieval style of abstract representation and herald the use of perspective, volumetric figures, and a more naturalistic approach to storytelling.

The Scrovegni Chapel was consecrated on March 25, 1303, and has since been preserved as a cultural and artistic treasure. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as part of the larger serial site "Padua's fourteenth-century fresco cycles" in 2021. Visitors to the chapel can witness Giotto's artistry and the profound impact his work had on the evolution of Renaissance art.
