"Recognition of the True Cross" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca, part of the larger fresco cycle titled "The Legend of the True Cross" located in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, Italy. Painted around the mid-15th century, this particular scene is a significant narrative within the cycle, depicting the moment when the True Cross, on which Jesus was crucified, is identified.

The fresco illustrates the story from the Golden Legend by Jacopo da Varagine, where Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine, is shown finding the cross in Jerusalem. The legend recounts that three crosses were found at the site of Christ's crucifixion, and the True Cross was recognized when it miraculously restored a dead man to life. In Piero's rendition, the dramatic moment unfolds with a crowd gathered around as the dead man is revived, providing divine proof of the cross's authenticity.

Piero della Francesca's work is renowned for its use of perspective and serene figures, which are evident in this fresco. The artist's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his geometric approach to composition, contribute to the solemn and monumental quality of the scene. The fresco's figures are rendered with a sculptural solidity, and their expressions and gestures convey the gravity of the miraculous event.

"Recognition of the True Cross" is a masterpiece of Quattrocento art, showcasing Piero della Francesca's skill in combining religious narrative with the emerging principles of Renaissance art, such as the use of linear perspective and a humanistic approach to the depiction of sacred subjects. The fresco cycle as a whole is considered one of the artist's greatest achievements and a pivotal work in the history of Renaissance painting.
