A glimpse into the world of a Benedictine monk takes us on a journey through time and art. From the serene depiction of the Virgin and Child with St. Benedict, we are transported to the Priory of St. Hippolytus of Vivoin, where spirituality intertwines with devotion. In another illustration from Winifred M. Letts' The Mighty Army, Saint Anselm stands tall as an emblematic figure, representing the unwavering faith that defines these monks. Their commitment to God is evident in every stroke of colour litho that brings this image to life. The Holy Trinity comes alive in a 1365 tempera on panel masterpiece, accompanied by St. Romuald and St. Andrew.
