"Discovery of the True Cross (detail) 2" is a subsection of Piero della Francesca's larger work, The Legend of the True Cross. This series of frescoes, completed between 1452 and 1466, adorns the Basilica di San Francesco in Arezzo Italy.

In this second scene of the narrative sequence, Francesca employs a captivating use of perspective and geometric form to portray the biblical story of the True Cross's discovery. This work displays Francesca's mastery in combining spatial depth with spiritual narrative. The composition is notable for its architectural precision, mathematical symmetry, and the dramatic interplay of light and shade, reflecting Francesca's study of optics and geometric principles.

Strikingly, Francesca renders the symbolic moment where Queen Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, finds the True Cross. In Christian tradition, this was the cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified. The majestic scene displays a group of onlookers, with the Queen center-stage, distinguished by her crown and vibrant blue cloak. This work is famed for the way Francesca characterizes the expressions of the onlookers, infusing the scene with humanistic qualities.

Exemplifying Francesca's pioneering approach to painting, "Discovery of the True Cross (detail) 2" is a testament to the artist's role in moving beyond the stylistic characteristics of Medieval art, toward the artistic ideals of the Renaissance.
