The Legend of the True Cross

Here is a photo of Piero's masterpiece, The Legend of the True Cross, in the Bacci Chapel of San Francesco Church in Arezzo, as seen from the floor.

As I mentioned before, the colours and the scenes are wonderful, especially the two mighty battle scenes at the bottom, an early Renaissance version of the big 1950's and 60's Hollywood films, with flags and swords flying and blood gushing, but altogether in a peaceful sublime way.
