"Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" is a fresco detail painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca, circa 1452. This work is part of a larger fresco cycle that adorns the walls of the Basilica of San Francesco in the town of Arezzo, Italy. The cycle, known as the "Legend of the True Cross," is considered one of Piero della Francesca's masterpieces and a seminal work of Renaissance art, showcasing the artist's command of perspective and his ability to convey complex narratives through his paintings.

The "Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" is one of the scenes within the cycle that depicts a story from the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies that includes the tale of the True Cross, the cross upon which Jesus was crucified. According to the legend, the Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon in Jerusalem, and during her visit, she recognizes the wood of the bridge over which she crosses as the wood that will be used for the crucifixion of Christ. In Piero della Francesca's depiction, the encounter between the two monarchs is characterized by a formal and solemn atmosphere, with both figures surrounded by their respective entourages in a harmonious composition that reflects the artist's interest in geometry and spatial organization.

The fresco is notable for its use of linear perspective, a technique that Piero della Francesca studied and wrote about in his treatise "De Prospectiva Pingendi." The artist's application of perspective is evident in the architectural elements of the scene, which draw the viewer's eye toward the central figures of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The fresco also demonstrates Piero's skillful use of color and light to create a sense of volume and depth, as well as his attention to detail in the rendering of the figures' garments and expressions.

As a significant work of the early Renaissance, the "Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba" exemplifies the period's emphasis on the revival of classical antiquity, the exploration of scientific principles in art, and the portrayal of religious narratives with a renewed sense of humanism. The fresco remains an important subject of study for art historians and continues to attract visitors to the Basilica of San Francesco, where it can be viewed in situ as part of the larger narrative of the True Cross.
