"St. Benedict Blessing a Child" is a notable fresco from the series "Life of St. Benedict," created by the Italian Renaissance artists Luca Signorelli and Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, known as Sodoma. This series of frescoes is housed in the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, located in the region of Tuscany, Italy. The frescoes were commissioned by the Olivetan monks in the early 16th century to adorn the walls of their cloister, illustrating the life and miracles of St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine Order.

The "St. Benedict Blessing a Child" fresco captures a poignant moment in the saint's life, emphasizing his role as a spiritual leader and miracle worker. In the scene, St. Benedict is depicted with a serene and compassionate expression, extending his hand in blessing over a child. The child, often interpreted as being in need of healing or divine intervention, is shown with a look of reverence and hope. The composition of the fresco is marked by its balanced arrangement and the use of perspective, which draws the viewer's eye towards the central figures, highlighting the significance of the blessing.

Signorelli and Sodoma's collaboration on this series is a testament to the artistic synergy between two masters of the Renaissance. Signorelli, known for his dynamic compositions and anatomical precision, and Sodoma, celebrated for his emotive and graceful figures, combined their talents to create a cohesive and spiritually uplifting narrative. The frescoes reflect the artistic transition from the early to the high Renaissance, showcasing advancements in the use of color, light, and spatial depth.
