"The Prayer, The Miracle of the Sieve and the Departure for Subiaco" is a predella panel from an altarpiece depicting Scenes from the Life of St. Benedict, created by the Italian Renaissance painter Ambrogio da Fossano, commonly known as Il Bergognone. This work is a testament to Bergognone's mastery in capturing the spiritual fervor and narrative detail characteristic of religious art during the late 15th and early 16th centuries.

Ambrogio da Fossano, active primarily in Lombardy, was known for his contributions to the Lombard school of painting. His works are distinguished by their delicate use of color, intricate detailing, and a profound sense of devotion, which is evident in this particular predella panel. The panel is divided into three distinct scenes, each illustrating a significant moment in the life of St. Benedict, the founder of Western monasticism.

The first scene, "The Prayer," depicts St. Benedict in a moment of deep spiritual contemplation, emphasizing his piety and dedication to a life of prayer. The second scene, "The Miracle of the Sieve," illustrates one of the saint's early miracles, where he mends a broken sieve, symbolizing his divine favor and miraculous powers. The final scene, "The Departure for Subiaco," portrays St. Benedict's journey to Subiaco, where he would establish his first monastic community, marking the beginning of his influential monastic rule.

Bergognone's use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to architectural and natural details brings these scenes to life, providing viewers with a visual narrative that is both engaging and spiritually uplifting. The predella panel not only serves as a devotional piece but also as an educational tool, offering insights into the life and miracles of St. Benedict.

This work is a fine example of Bergognone's ability to blend narrative clarity with artistic beauty, making it a significant piece in the study of Renaissance religious art. It reflects the broader cultural and religious milieu of the time, where art served as a medium for both worship and instruction.
