As a result of historical research and restoration, it was discovered that the Resurrection had not been painted on the wall on which we now see it, but had been transported from another location, likely the external facade of the building, under the arengario of Borgo Sansepolcro.

We learn some more about the origins of Piero's Resurrection and why it might have been commissioned. As with other works of art, the Resurrection likely had political symbolism as well as religious symbolism.

We learn more about how and why Piero's Resurrection was moved from its original position. It's fascinating.

If two important works of Piero's survived the bombings during World War II, it was due to the efforts of art historians and restorers such as Ugo Procacci. In addition to the Resurrection, a wonderful painting of the Virgin Mary as she was expecting a child, "La Madonna del Parto" was saved and is now housed in the museum in Monterchi, Arezzo.
