Piero della Francesca is one of the greatest artists of Italian Quattrocento. The donor, that is, the customer of the represented image, was Girolamo Amadi, the representative of a wealthy family who moved to Venice. It is his family who deserves credit for the construction of the wonderful church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli in the city.
About Borgo San Sepolcro, in which the artist was born, in this work della Francesca “told” not only the inscription on the trunk of a tree with a cross mounted on it, but also the view of the town of central Italy in the Tiber Valley in the background.
