L'Adoration du bois de la vraie croix
et rencontre de Salomon et de la reine de Saba
Piero della Francesca, 1452
Fresque, 336 x 747
Eglise Saint François

Two episodes are shown in the same fresco, separated from each other by the column of the royal palace. The architectural element (the column) is the centre of the composition and the vanishing point for the whole fresco. The episode on the left is drawn from the "Golden Legend", while that in the right is an iconographical element added by Piero.
