Battle between Heraclius and Chosroes

The 'Battle between Heraclius and Chosroes' is an exemplary religious painting found within the series, 'The Legend of the True Cross'. This series by Piero della Francesca is a striking fresco located in the Basilica of San Francesco in Arezzo. It tells a vivid story on the wall of the basilica in a way that brilliantly exemplifies the aesthetics of early Renaissance art. Painted in fresco, a technique that was characteristic of this period, it is widely hailed as one of Fracesca's foremost works.
