"St. Julian" (1455-1460) is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Church of San Francesco in the town of Arezzo, Italy. The fresco depicts Saint Julian the Hospitaller, a legendary Christian saint known for his tale of redemption and charity after a life marred by a tragic crime.

In the fresco, Piero della Francesca presents St. Julian in a poised and serene manner, characteristic of his style, which is renowned for its geometric precision and clarity of form. The saint is typically shown in a contemplative pose, often with attributes that identify him as a pilgrim, such as a staff or a book. The background of the fresco may feature a landscape or architectural elements that reflect Piero's deep understanding of perspective, a technique he mastered and innovated during the Renaissance.

The "St. Julian" fresco is part of a larger narrative cycle in the Church of San Francesco, known as the "Legend of the True Cross." This cycle is considered one of Piero della Francesca's masterpieces and a seminal work of Renaissance art. The cycle depicts the story of the True Cross, from its origins as the tree in the Garden of Eden to its rediscovery by St. Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine.

Piero della Francesca's work on the cycle, including "St. Julian," is celebrated for its harmonious composition and the use of light and color to create a sense of volume and space. The frescoes are also notable for their humanistic portrayal of figures and the integration of religious themes with the emerging knowledge of the time, including advancements in mathematics and science.

"St. Julian" and the entire "Legend of the True Cross" cycle attract scholars and art enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the world of 15th-century Italy and the intellectual and artistic currents that shaped the Renaissance. The frescoes have been subject to various restoration efforts over the centuries to preserve their beauty and historical significance for future generations.
