''Discovery of the True Cross'' circa 1745 is a significant religious painting by the Italian Rococo artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. This artwork is part of a larger body of work that exemplifies Tiepolo's mastery in depicting light and his ability to convey complex narratives through his dynamic compositions. The painting illustrates the moment when Saint Helena, mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, discovers the True Cross, the cross upon which Jesus was crucified, according to Christian tradition.

The scene is set in Jerusalem and is replete with the dramatic flair characteristic of Tiepolo's work, showcasing his skillful use of color and his adeptness at rendering figures in motion. The composition is carefully orchestrated to guide the viewer's eye to the central action, where the True Cross is being identified by its miraculous ability to resurrect a dead man, a test that Saint Helena devised to discern the True Cross from other crosses found at the site.

Tiepolo's work is often noted for its theatricality and the 'Discovery of the True Cross' is no exception; it is imbued with a sense of spectacle and divine intervention. The painting's dimensions, provenance, and current location are essential details that provide context to the artwork, but such specifics may vary and should be verified with the most current information available.

As a prominent figure in 18th-century Venetian painting, Tiepolo's 'Discovery of the True Cross' is a testament to his artistic legacy and is of particular interest to scholars studying the Baroque and Rococo periods, as well as those with a focus on religious iconography in art. The painting not only reflects the religious fervor of the time but also serves as an example of the grandeur and expressive style that define Tiepolo's oeuvre.
