Agnolo Gaddi's "Discovery of the True Cross" is a significant fresco cycle located in the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. Painted between 1380 and 1390, this work is part of a larger series that narrates the Legend of the True Cross, a popular medieval story detailing the history of the cross on which Jesus was crucified. Gaddi, a prominent figure of the late Gothic period, was the son of Taddeo Gaddi, a pupil of Giotto, and his work reflects the transition from the Gothic to the early Renaissance style.

The frescoes are situated in the Cappella Maggiore, also known as the Cappella dei Castellani, and cover the walls with vibrant storytelling. Gaddi's use of color and composition demonstrates his skill in creating a narrative that is both engaging and spiritually uplifting. The cycle begins with the story of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon and continues through various episodes, including the burial of the cross and its eventual rediscovery by Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine.

Gaddi's work is noted for its detailed depiction of figures and its ability to convey complex theological themes in a manner accessible to the public of the time. The frescoes are characterized by their rich use of color and intricate details, which were innovative for their time and influenced subsequent generations of artists.

The "Discovery of the True Cross" is an important example of 14th-century Florentine art, reflecting the religious and cultural values of the period. It remains a significant attraction for visitors to Santa Croce, offering insight into the artistic and spiritual life of medieval Florence. Gaddi's contribution to the art world is recognized for its narrative clarity and its role in the evolution of fresco painting during a pivotal era in art history.
