"Exaltation of the Cross – Inhabitants of Jerusalem c. 1466" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca, part of his larger work, the "Legend of the True Cross" fresco cycle. This cycle is located in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, Italy, and is considered one of Piero della Francesca's most significant and accomplished works. The "Exaltation of the Cross" scene depicts the moment when the True Cross, believed to be the cross upon which Jesus was crucified, is raised before the people of Jerusalem.

The fresco showcases Piero della Francesca's mastery of perspective and light, creating a spatially coherent and harmoniously composed scene. The inhabitants of Jerusalem are portrayed with a sense of solemnity and reverence as they witness the exaltation of the cross, which is positioned at the center of the composition, drawing the viewer's eye to the significance of the event. The artist's use of geometric shapes and his understanding of light effects give the figures a sculptural quality, while the architectural elements reinforce the sense of depth and space.

Piero della Francesca's work on the "Legend of the True Cross" was commissioned by the Confraternity of the Holy Cross and is a narrative cycle that illustrates various episodes from the Golden Legend by Jacobus de Voragine, which details the history and legend of the True Cross. The "Exaltation of the Cross" is a key moment in this narrative, symbolizing the triumph of Christianity and the redemption offered through Christ's sacrifice.

The fresco is celebrated for its humanistic approach to the religious subject matter, as Piero della Francesca imbues the scene with a sense of calm rationality and order, reflective of the intellectual and artistic climate of the Renaissance. His work on the cycle, including the "Exaltation of the Cross," has been influential in the development of Western art and continues to be studied for its innovative use of perspective and its serene, timeless quality.
