Painted by Alessandro Magnasco in the 17th century, this artwork showcases monks engaged in various prayer positions and immersed in different occupations. The painting captures the essence of monastic life with its meticulous attention to detail. Each monk is depicted with utmost precision, showcasing their distinctive costumes and hoods that symbolize their religious order. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring these figures to life, evoking a sense of reverence and tranquility.
