"Vision of St Bernard with Sts Benedict and John the Evangelist" is an early 16th-century painting by Italian Renaissance painter Fra Bartolomeo. Completed in 1504, during the High Renaissance period, the painting is an illustrious depiction of three principal figures - St Bernard, St Benedict, and St John the Evangelist.

The painting showcases Fra Bartolomeo's renowned technique and skill in depth and perspective, as well as his ecclesiast influence. The painting's focal point is St Bernard, who is seen in a reverent pose towards the Virgin Mary appearing in the heavens, reflecting the theme of Marian apparitions that was prevalent at the time. On either side of St Bernard are St Benedict and St John the Evangelist, both portrayed in contemplative modes synonymous with their respective iconographies.

St Benedict, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order, is depicted with a book and the Benedictine rule, while St John the Evangelist, the patron saint of love, loyalty, and friendships, is seen holding a chalice, symbolizing his links to the Passion of Christ.

Bartolomeo's painting is characterized by its meticulous detailing and atmospheric perspective, reflecting his engagement with the complex spatial settings that typify High Renaissance work. The usage of color and light is also worth noting, with the radiant apparition of the Virgin Mary contrasting the earthly tones of the terrestrial realm.

"Vision of St Bernard with Sts Benedict and John the Evangelist" historically marked Fra Bartolomeo's transition to a more contemplative and spiritual style, often hallmarked by representations of saints and holy apparitions. As such, it provides a valuable insight into the artistic and religious contexts of the period. Today, it continues to be heralded as one of Fra Bartolomeo's most significant works. The painting resides in Galleria dell'Accademia, in Florence, Italy.
