EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a predella panel from an altarpiece titled "The Prayer, The Miracle of the Sieve and the Departure for Subiaco". Created by Ambrogio da Fossano (Il Bergognone) between 1488-95, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 27x42 cm and is currently housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, France. Part of a larger series depicting scenes from the life of St. Benedict, this particular panel tells three significant moments in his journey. On the left side, we witness St. Benedict deep in prayer, his devoutness evident through his serene expression and clasped hands. This image beautifully captures his unwavering faith and devotion to God. In the center, we are presented with "The Miracle of the Sieve". It portrays St. Benedict repairing a broken sieve that was accidentally shattered by his nurse while washing clothes. Through divine intervention or perhaps as a testament to his holiness, he miraculously mends it effortlessly—an act symbolizing both humility and supernatural abilities. Lastly, on the right side of the panel is depicted "The Departure for Subiaco". Here we see St. Benedict bidding farewell to civilization as he embarks on a solitary path towards becoming a hermit—a pivotal moment where he leaves behind worldly comforts to pursue spiritual enlightenment. Commissioned for Pavia's Carthusian monastery, these scenes narrate crucial episodes in St. Benedict's life—
