"St. Benedict finds flour and feeds the monks" is a fresco from the Life of St. Benedict series, created between 1497 and 1498 by the Italian Renaissance artists Luca Signorelli and Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, also known as Il Sodoma. The fresco is located in the Cloister of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, an abbey in the region of Tuscany, Italy. This work is part of a larger cycle that depicts scenes from the life of St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order and a pivotal figure in Western monasticism.

The fresco illustrates a miraculous event from the second book of Dialogues by Pope Gregory the Great, where St. Benedict, by divine providence, finds a supply of flour to feed his monks during a time of scarcity. The narrative captures the moment when St. Benedict's faith and leadership provide sustenance for his community, reinforcing the themes of divine intervention and the virtue of trust in God's provision.

Luca Signorelli, known for his skill in foreshortening and a masterful use of perspective, likely contributed significantly to the composition and execution of the frescoes, while Il Sodoma's influence may be seen in the graceful figures and emotional expressions. The collaboration between these two artists resulted in a harmonious blend of technical prowess and artistic sensitivity, making the fresco series an important example of Renaissance art and a testament to the devotional narratives of the period.

The fresco is notable for its dynamic composition, the vivid portrayal of the figures, and the use of color and light to enhance the storytelling. As part of the larger fresco cycle, "St. Benedict finds flour and feeds the monks" contributes to the visual narrative that celebrates the life and miracles of St. Benedict, offering insight into the spiritual and artistic values of the time.
