EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Scène de la vie de saint Benoît : l'ange désignant à saint Benoît l'emplacement du monastere du mont Cassin" (Scene of the life of Saint Benedict: The angel indicating to Saint Benedict the place of the monastery of Monte Cassino), was created by the renowned French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne in the year 1656. The painting depicts a significant moment in the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order in the 6th century. In the painting, we see four figures: Saint Benedict, dressed in monk's robes, and three other men, possibly monks or travelers. The central figure is an angel, who is gesturing towards a mountain in the background, indicating the location of the future Monte Cassino Monastery in Italy. Saint Benedict, in deep contemplation, looks up at the angel, receiving the divine guidance. The painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors that characterize the Baroque era. The use of oil on canvas adds to the painting's texture and depth, making it a visual feast for the eyes. This masterpiece is now housed in the Musée de Carnavalet in Paris, a prestigious French museum that holds an extensive collection of art and historical artifacts. The painting's inclusion in the museum's collection is a testament to its historical and artistic significance, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the art and religious history of France and Italy during the Baroque era.
