The Baptism of Christ is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Piero della Francesca. Painted in egg tempera on two panels of poplar wood, the dating is controversial, some give it a very early date, perhaps 1439; others much later, around 1460. It is held by the National Gallery, London.

The Saint Augustine Altarpiece was a mixed-technique 1454 to 1469 panel altarpiece by Piero della Francesca, now split up and dispersed. It is thought that it contained thirty panels, of which only eight are known to survive, divided between five museums in four countries. It was commissioned for what was then the church of Sant'Agostino (now renamed) in Piero's home town of Sansepolcro.

The Diptych of Federico da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza are two oil paintings by Italian artist Piero della Francesca, dated to 1473 to 1475. This famed double portrait is often mistitled The Duke and Duchess of Urbino, as it appears on the website of the Uffizi Gallery, which owns it. Since Battista Sforza died in 1472 and Federico da Montefeltro was not made duke until 1474, Battista never attained the title of duchess.
