"Frate in Preghiera" (English: "Monk in Prayer") is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Antonio Cifrondi (1655–1730). The work is emblematic of Cifrondi's artistic style, which is characterized by a focus on realism and the depiction of everyday life, as well as religious and genre scenes. The painting portrays a solitary monk, deeply engrossed in prayer, reflecting the Baroque era's emphasis on spirituality and the inner emotional life of individuals.

The composition of "Frate in Preghiera" is marked by a strong use of chiaroscuro, a technique popularized during the Baroque period, which employs the dramatic contrast of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume. Cifrondi's adept handling of this technique enhances the contemplative mood of the painting and draws the viewer's attention to the monk's expression of devout concentration.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the latter part of Cifrondi's career, which was spent primarily in the Lombardy region of Italy. The painting is significant for its portrayal of monastic life and the spiritual devotion of the religious figures of the time, themes that were common in Baroque art.

"Frate in Preghiera" is a testament to Antonio Cifrondi's skill in capturing the essence of the human spirit and the religious fervor of the era in which he lived. The painting remains an important work for the study of Italian Baroque art and continues to be appreciated for its emotional resonance and technical mastery.
