EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from the fresco "The problems of installations of the monks in Monte Cassino" by Luca Signorelli. Painted between 1497 and 1498, this artwork depicts an episode from the life of Saint Benedict at Mount Cassin. In the foreground, we witness Saint Benedict himself, portrayed with great intensity and determination, banishing a demon from a stone. This powerful act symbolizes his ability to overcome spiritual obstacles and protect his fellow monks. As our gaze extends into the background, another group of monks can be seen unearthing an idol from the ground. This discovery highlights their commitment to purging any remnants of pagan worship that may have existed on these sacred grounds. To the right side of the composition, yet another group is engaged in a fierce battle against fire. Their valiant efforts represent not only physical challenges faced by these early settlers but also metaphorical struggles against temptation and adversity. Luca Signorelli's masterful use of color and composition brings this historical event to life with vivid detail. The rich hues and intricate brushwork create a sense of movement and drama within this monumental fresco. This remarkable piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to Saint Benedict's unwavering faith in overcoming hardships during his mission to establish monastic life at Monte Cassino Abbey.
