"Battle between Heraclius and Chosroes (detail-2)" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca, created around 1460. This artwork is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Basilica of San Francesco in the town of Arezzo, Italy. The series, known as the "Legend of the True Cross," depicts the story of the wood of the Cross from its origins to its rediscovery by Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine.

The specific scene of the "Battle between Heraclius and Chosroes" captures a pivotal moment in the legendary history of the True Cross. It portrays the confrontation between the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius and the Persian king Chosroes II. According to the legend, after the Persians had stolen the True Cross from Jerusalem, Heraclius led a campaign to retrieve it. The fresco illustrates the climax of this campaign, the battle in which Heraclius defeats Chosroes, leading to the recovery of the sacred relic.

Piero della Francesca is renowned for his mastery of perspective and light, which is evident in this fresco. The composition is marked by a sophisticated use of space and a calm clarity, characteristics that define Piero's style. The figures are depicted with a sense of solidity and volume, standing out against a landscape that recedes into the background, demonstrating the artist's understanding of geometric principles and his ability to create a convincing three-dimensional space on a flat surface.

The fresco is celebrated for its historical significance as well as its artistic merit. It is a prime example of the early Renaissance's engagement with classical themes and the revival of interest in antiquity. Moreover, it showcases Piero della Francesca's contributions to the development of Italian Renaissance art, particularly in the use of perspective and the portrayal of narrative scenes.

As a part of the "Legend of the True Cross" cycle, the "Battle between Heraclius and Chosroes" has been the subject of extensive art historical research and is considered one of the highlights of Piero della Francesca's oeuvre. The entire cycle is recognized as one of the masterpieces of 15th-century Italian art and has been influential in the development of narrative fresco painting in the Renaissance.
