EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a stunning cloister fresco titled "How Benedict left his father's house and went to Rome to study". Created by Antonio Bazzi dit il Sodoma, the artwork depicts the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Order of Benedictine. Painted between 1503 and 1508 at the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in Florence, this masterpiece showcases Sodoma's exceptional talent. In this particular scene, we witness young Benedict leaving his family home to pursue education in Rome. The fresco portrays a sense of nobility and elegance as he embarks on his journey accompanied by a horseman. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every brushstroke capturing the essence of Renaissance art. The composition not only highlights religious themes but also provides glimpses into daily life during that era. From domestic animals like horses to wildlife found in farm settings, Sodoma skillfully incorporates various elements into his painting. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this artwork through her lens, preserving its historical significance for generations to come. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back in time to witness an important moment in Saint Benedict's life—a pivotal event that would shape him into one of Christianity's most revered figures. This photograph serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and spiritual devotion—an exquisite blend that continues to inspire awe and admiration today.
