Piero della Francesca was one of the top Renaissance painters. He was born in Sansepolcro around 1420. In Sansepolcro's museum we can find two of his major art works, the Madonna della Misericordia and Resurrection of Christ. Another of his frescoes is in the Arezzo’s Cathedral . In nearby Monterchi, you can see the Madonna del Parto or Madonna in Labor. Florence's Uffizi Gallery also holds one of his paintings.
The 14th century Arezzo's San Francesco Church too houses the famous Piero della Francesca frescoes. You'll find the church in the lower part of Arezzo, about halfway between the cathedral .jpg)
and the train station. While the facade is simply made of stone and bricks , inside you can appreciate magnificent frescoes by several artists including Piero della Francesca. You can see the frescoes from inside the church and in particular , the Legend of the True Cross fresco cycle is in the Cappella Maggiore at the front of the church.
