"San Benedetto Scaccia Il Demonio Dal Sasso" (Saint Benedict Casting Out the Devil from the Rock) is an 18th-century engraving by the Italian artist Giacomo Maria Giovannini. Born in 1667 in Bologna, Giovannini was an accomplished engraver and painter who studied under Lorenzo Pasinelli and later worked with prominent artists such as Marcantonio Franceschini. The engraving depicts a scene from the life of Saint Benedict of Nursia, the founder of Western monasticism and the Benedictine Order.

The artwork illustrates the moment when Saint Benedict, renowned for his piety and miracles, exorcises a demon from a stone. According to the legend, the devil had been obstructing the construction of a monastery by making a particular stone immovable. Saint Benedict's intervention allowed the monks to continue their work. This subject is a common theme in Christian art, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the power of faith.

Giovannini's work is characterized by its meticulous detail and dynamic composition, reflecting the Baroque style's influence on his artistic approach. The engraving showcases his skill in creating dramatic contrasts between light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the intensity of the spiritual encounter. "San Benedetto Scaccia Il Demonio Dal Sasso" is a testament to Giovannini's mastery of the engraving medium and his contribution to the religious iconography of his time.

While the exact date of creation for this particular engraving is not well-documented, Giovannini's active period as an artist suggests it was likely produced in the late 17th or early 18th century. The work remains an important example of Baroque religious art and offers insight into the devotional practices and artistic expressions of the period. It is a valuable piece for those interested in the history of engraving, Italian art, and the visual representation of saints' lives.
