EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from "The Legend of the True Cross" fresco, specifically the Adoration of the Holy Wood and the Meeting of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Created by Piero della Francesca in 1452-1455, this masterpiece can be found in the Basilica San Francesco in Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy. In this particular section of the fresco, we witness a significant moment where biblical history intertwines with artistry. The scene depicts King Solomon graciously receiving Queen Sheba during her visit to his kingdom. Both figures exude regal elegance as they engage in polite conversation and exchange greetings. What truly captures our attention is the presence of an object that holds immense religious significance - the Holy Wood or True Cross. It is revered and adored by those present at this meeting as a symbol of faith and devotion. This detail highlights not only Piero della Francesca's exceptional artistic skills but also his ability to seamlessly weave together historical events with spiritual narratives. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back to quattrocento Italy - a time when religion played a central role in society and art was used as a medium for storytelling. Through Bencini's lens, we are granted an intimate glimpse into this remarkable fresco that continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries later.
