"The Finding of the True Cross" is a notable work by Nicola di Filotesio, more commonly known as Cola dell'Amatrice, created between 1516 and 1533. This painting is a significant example of the Italian Renaissance, showcasing Cola dell'Amatrice's skill in combining elements of the High Renaissance with the emerging Mannerist style. The artwork depicts the biblical story of the discovery of the True Cross, the cross upon which Jesus was crucified, by Saint Helena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, in the 4th century.

The painting is characterized by its detailed narrative composition, vibrant color palette, and the emotional depth of its figures. Cola dell'Amatrice employs a dynamic arrangement of characters and architectural elements to guide the viewer's eye through the scene, effectively narrating the story of the discovery and identification of the True Cross. The use of perspective and the careful attention to the play of light and shadow demonstrate the artist's mastery of the techniques developed during the Renaissance.

"The Finding of the True Cross" is also notable for its depiction of Saint Helena, who is often portrayed in a moment of divine revelation or in the act of excavating the cross, a symbol of faith and redemption.
