The "Polyptych of the Misericordia Sts Andrew and Bernardino" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca. This polyptych, a multi-paneled altarpiece, was originally commissioned for the Brotherhood of Mercy (Confraternita della Misericordia) in Sansepolcro, the artist's hometown. The commission for this piece is documented to have been initiated in 1445, and Piero worked on it intermittently for several years, completing it in 1462. This extended period of creation reflects the complexity and importance of the work, as well as the evolving style of the artist.

The polyptych is significant for its incorporation of both traditional and innovative elements of Renaissance art. It is structured with a central panel depicting the Madonna della Misericordia (Virgin of Mercy) sheltering the members of the confraternity under her mantle, a theme that underscores the protective role of the Virgin Mary and the charitable mission of the brotherhood. This central image is flanked by panels featuring saints, among them St. Andrew and St. Bernardino of Siena, who were particularly venerated at the time and held special significance for the confraternity.

Piero della Francesca is renowned for his mastery of perspective and light, and this polyptych is no exception. The figures are rendered with a sculptural solidity and are set against architectural and natural backgrounds that demonstrate the artist's deep understanding of spatial construction. The use of geometric harmony and the serene, yet expressive, faces of the figures reflect the influence of humanism on Piero's work.

The "Polyptych of the Misericordia Sts Andrew and Bernardino" remains a testament to Piero della Francesca's skill in combining religious iconography with the emerging principles of Renaissance art. It is a key example of his ability to convey complex theological concepts through the medium of painting, and it continues to be studied for its aesthetic and historical significance. The polyptych is still housed in its original location, the Museo Civico of Sansepolcro, allowing viewers to appreciate it in the context for which it was created.
