Cristo Benedicente, or "Christ Blessing," is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Gregorio Preti. Born in 1603, Preti was an accomplished painter who, despite being overshadowed by his more famous brother Mattia Preti, made significant contributions to the Baroque art movement. Gregorio Preti's works are characterized by their dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, and their deeply emotional and spiritual themes.

The painting depicts Jesus Christ in a moment of blessing, a common theme in Christian art that symbolizes divine grace and benevolence. In Cristo Benedicente, Preti captures the serene and compassionate expression of Christ, who is portrayed with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing and his left hand holding a globe, symbolizing his dominion over the world. The use of light in the painting is particularly striking, with Christ's figure illuminated against a darker background, creating a sense of divine presence and highlighting the spiritual significance of the moment.

Preti's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of Christ's robes and the delicate play of light on his face and hands. The painting reflects the Baroque era's emphasis on emotional intensity and realism, drawing viewers into a contemplative engagement with the divine.

While Gregorio Preti may not have achieved the same level of fame as his brother, Cristo Benedicente stands as a testament to his skill and devotion as an artist. The painting is an important example of Baroque religious art and continues to be appreciated for its spiritual depth and artistic mastery.
