EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from the "Life of St. Benedict" fresco, painted by an unknown Italian artist in the 15th century. The artwork is located at Monastero di San Benedetto (Santuario Sacro Spero) in Subiaco, Rome, Lazio, Italy. In this particular section of the fresco, we witness a significant event in St. Benedict's life as he encounters Saint Romanus. Saint Romanus bestows upon him a monk's habit, symbolizing his commitment to a life of devotion and spirituality. The composition also depicts St. Benedict retiring to his cave accompanied by his nurse in Enfide (Affile). This serene setting highlights the solitude and contemplation that characterized his spiritual journey. As the story unfolds within this mural, another pivotal moment emerges - the apparition of the Cross before St. Benedict. This divine encounter signifies Christ's presence and guidance throughout his path towards enlightenment. The intricate architectural details surrounding these scenes add depth and grandeur to this magnificent work of art. Every brushstroke showcases remarkable skill and attention to detail. Through this print brought to us by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in St. Benedict's life unfold before our eyes—a testament to both artistic mastery and religious devotion that continues to inspire viewers today.
