The Polyptych of the Misericordia conserved in the Pinacoteca Comunale of Sansepolcro Tuscany Italy is one of the earliest works of the Italian Renaissance painter Piero della Francesca. The central panel is of the common motif of the Virgin of Mercy or Madonna della Misericordia. In 1445 the Compagnia della Misericordia a confraternity of Borgo San Sepolcro commissioned Piero a native of the town to paint a polyptych for them.
