The Queen of Sheba

Adoration of the Sacred Wood and meeting between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba is a fresco (336x747 cm) by Piero della Francesca and aids, part of the Stories of the True Cross in the main chapel of the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo, datable to 1452-1458. The fresco was probably the second to be painted by Piero in the cycle, and is also the second in the chronological arrangement of the stories. The part of the Adoration, with the hardest and most graphic sign, was painted by the master's helpers, among whom Giovanni da Piamonte stands out.
