PIERO DELLA FRANCESCA
(b. 1416, Borgo San Sepolcro, d. 1492, Borgo San Sepolcro)

The Prophet Jeremiah

1452-66
Fresco
San Francesco, Arezzo

On the upper register of the end wall of the chapel there are two male figures, identified as the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah. The former was executed by Giovanni da Piamonte, the main associate of Piero, while Jeremiah was painted by Piero himself. These figures show a distinct similarity in style to Andrea del Castagno.
