"The Revealing of the True Cross" is a miniature painting created by the Limbourg brothers, renowned Flemish artists active in the early 15th century. This scene, likely from a larger illuminated manuscript, depicts the moment when the True Cross, believed to be the cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified, was discovered. The scene unfolds in a landscape setting, with a group of figures gathered around the cross, likely representing the discovery and veneration of the holy relic. The Limbourg brothers' meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of figures and landscapes are characteristic of their style, reflecting the artistic advancements of the International Gothic period.
