EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of Saint Benedict's passing in 547 AD at his deathbed in Norcia. Surrounded by monks from Monte Cassino, the saint is depicted with a serene expression as he receives a vision of heaven, with angels descending to take him into eternal glory.
Saint Benedict, known for founding the Benedictine Order and writing the Rule of Saint Benedict which became a guide for monastic living, is shown here in his final moments on earth. The historical significance of this event is palpable, as it marks the end of an era and the beginning of a legacy that would shape Western Christian monasticism for centuries to come.
The composition of this image exudes a sense of peace and reverence, with the monks gathered around their beloved leader in prayerful contemplation. The ethereal presence of angels above adds a mystical quality to the scene, emphasizing Saint Benedict's transition from earthly life to heavenly reward.
As we gaze upon this powerful depiction of Saint Benedict's passing, we are reminded not only of his profound impact on religious history but also of the enduring faith and devotion that continue to inspire believers around the world. This print serves as a timeless reminder of one man's journey towards divine grace and eternal salvation.
