The "Adoration of the Holy Wood and the Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca, painted around 1452. This work forms part of a larger cycle of frescoes depicting the Legend of the True Cross in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, Italy. The cycle is considered one of Piero della Francesca's masterpieces and a seminal work of Renaissance art, showcasing the artist's command of perspective, color, and composition.

The fresco in question is divided into two scenes. The left side of the fresco, "The Adoration of the Holy Wood," portrays the discovery of the True Cross, the cross upon which Jesus was crucified, according to Christian tradition. The scene is set in a lush, idyllic landscape and features a procession of figures adoring the relic. The right side, "The Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba," depicts the biblical story from the First Book of Kings and the Second Chronicles, where the Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon to test his wisdom. The Queen of Sheba is shown recognizing the wood of the bridge over which she is crossing as the wood destined to be used for the True Cross, leading her to kneel in veneration.

Piero della Francesca's fresco is celebrated for its use of linear perspective, which was innovative at the time, and for the serene and harmonious quality of the figures. The fresco also reflects the artist's deep understanding of light and shadow, contributing to the three-dimensional effect of the painted architecture and figures. The work is a prime example of the integration of narrative content with the spatial and compositional concerns that were central to early Renaissance art.

The frescoes in the Basilica of San Francesco are considered a UNESCO World Heritage site and are one of the most studied and visited works of the early Renaissance period. Piero della Francesca's "Adoration of the Holy Wood and the Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" continues to be a subject of scholarly research and is admired for its aesthetic qualities and its significance in the history of art.
