"Torture of the Jew" (detail) is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca, painted around 1455 as part of a larger series of frescoes depicting the Legend of the True Cross in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, Italy. This particular scene is one of several that illustrate the story of the discovery of the True Cross, the cross upon which Jesus was crucified, as described in the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies compiled by Jacobus de Voragine.

The fresco captures a moment of intense drama, where a Jew is being tortured to reveal the location of the True Cross, which had been hidden to protect it from desecration. Piero della Francesca's work is renowned for its use of perspective and serene figures, and even in this scene of violence, there is a sense of order and geometry that is characteristic of his style. The artist's mastery of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the psychological intensity of the figures, is evident in this fresco.

The "Torture of the Jew" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural context. It reflects the attitudes and beliefs of the time regarding religion and the treatment of those of different faiths. As part of the larger fresco cycle, it contributes to the narrative that glorifies the Christian relic and its history.

Piero della Francesca's frescoes in the Basilica of San Francesco are considered some of his most important works and are a key example of early Renaissance art. The "Torture of the Jew" stands as a testament to the artist's ability to weave complex theological themes with pioneering artistic techniques, creating a work that is both a visual masterpiece and a reflection of the era in which it was created.
