"Saint Benedict in the Desert" is an oil painting by French artist Jean II Restout, created in 1741. The painting depicts Saint Benedict, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order, during his period of solitary life in the wilderness before establishing his first monastery at Subiaco. This artwork is a prime example of Restout's mastery in religious themes, showcasing his skill in capturing the spiritual intensity and contemplative nature of its subjects.

The composition centers on the figure of Saint Benedict, who is portrayed in a moment of divine revelation or prayer, set against a rugged, desolate landscape that emphasizes his isolation and spiritual devotion. The use of dramatic lighting highlights the saint's expression of inner peace and divine inspiration, while the surrounding darkness enhances the sense of his detachment from worldly concerns.

This painting is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its representation of monastic life and spiritual contemplation, themes that were important during the Counter-Reformation period in which Restout was active. The artwork remains an important piece for studies of French religious art of the 18th century, reflecting the religious, cultural, and artistic currents of the time.
