"Finding and Recognition of the True Cross" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca, painted around the mid-15th century as part of the larger cycle of frescoes depicting the Legend of the True Cross in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, Italy. This particular scene is one of several that narrate the story of the True Cross, the cross upon which Jesus was crucified, which was discovered by Saint Helena in the 4th century.

The fresco captures the moment when the True Cross is identified among three crosses found on the site of Christ's crucifixion. According to the Golden Legend, the True Cross was distinguished from the others when its touch revived a dead man. Piero della Francesca's representation of this event is noted for its clarity of composition, geometric order, and the serene figures that populate the scene, reflecting the artist's interest in humanism and the mathematical proportions governing the natural world.

Piero's fresco cycle is celebrated for its innovative use of perspective and light, which were groundbreaking at the time of its creation and have led to the cycle being considered one of the masterpieces of Early Renaissance art. The "Finding and Recognition of the True Cross" stands out within the cycle for its dramatic narrative and the harmonious integration of architectural elements that enhance the spatial depth of the scene.

The fresco has been extensively studied for its iconography, its place within the context of Renaissance art, and Piero della Francesca's own artistic development. It remains a significant work for understanding the evolution of fresco technique, the use of perspective in narrative art, and the cultural and religious milieu of 15th-century Italy.
