"Legend of the True Cross: Adoration of the True Cross and the Queen of Sheba Meeting with Solomon" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca. This work forms part of a larger series known as the "Legend of the True Cross," which is housed in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, Italy. The frescoes, painted between 1452 and 1466, are celebrated for their use of perspective and Piero's pioneering approach to light and color, which have had a profound influence on the course of Western art.

The "Adoration of the True Cross" and the "Queen of Sheba Meeting with Solomon" are two scenes within a single fresco that depict separate but related biblical and apocryphal stories concerning the True Cross, the cross upon which Jesus was crucified. The narrative is derived from "The Golden Legend," a 13th-century compilation of hagiographies by Jacobus de Voragine, which became a key source for artistic representations of Christian stories during the Renaissance.

In the "Adoration of the True Cross," the fresco illustrates the moment when the Queen of Sheba, on her visit to King Solomon, recognizes the wood of the True Cross and kneels in veneration, foreseeing that it will be used for the crucifixion of Christ. The scene is rich in symbolism and foreshadows the redemption of mankind through the sacrifice of Jesus.

The "Queen of Sheba Meeting with Solomon" portrays the encounter between the two monarchs, a meeting that is legendary for its exchange of gifts and wisdom. The fresco captures the opulence and grandeur of Solomon's court and reflects the Renaissance interest in the exotic and the biblical past.

Piero della Francesca's work on the Legend of the True Cross cycle is a masterpiece of narrative art, demonstrating his intellectual engagement with the religious themes of his time and his innovative artistic techniques. The frescoes are a testament to the artist's ability to weave complex theological concepts into visually compelling imagery, and they remain a significant cultural treasure of the Early Renaissance period.
