"Saint Scholastica" is a Baroque-era painting by the Italian artist Guido Reni, created circa 1640–1642. The artwork is a devotional piece that depicts Saint Scholastica, the sister of Saint Benedict of Nursia and the patron saint of Benedictine nuns, education, and convulsive children. Reni, known for his classical and serene approach to religious subjects, portrays Scholastica in a moment of contemplative grace, capturing both her piety and her dedication to monastic life.

The painting is characterized by Reni's use of soft, diffused light and a harmonious palette, which imbues the work with a sense of spirituality and tranquility. Saint Scholastica is typically shown in the habit of a Benedictine nun, and in Reni's interpretation, she is often depicted with a dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit or her own gentle and pure spirit, as per the legend where a dove ascended to heaven at the time of her death.

"Saint Scholastica" by Guido Reni is a significant example of the Counter-Reformation art that sought to inspire the faithful through visual beauty and emotional resonance. The painting's exact location and provenance have varied over time, and it has been appreciated by audiences and art historians for its aesthetic qualities as well as its religious significance.

As a work of art from the 17th century, "Saint Scholastica" reflects the broader cultural and religious themes of its time, including the veneration of saints, the importance of monastic life, and the role of women in the church. Reni's portrayal of Saint Scholastica contributes to the rich tapestry of religious art and continues to be studied for its stylistic and iconographic merits.
