"The Death of St. Benedict, from the Life of St. Benedict 2" is a significant work of art attributed to the Italian Renaissance painters Luca Signorelli and Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, known as Sodoma. This painting is part of a series that illustrates the life and miracles of St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of Western monasticism and the Benedictine Order. The series was commissioned to adorn the walls of the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, a Benedictine monastery located in the region of Tuscany, Italy.

Luca Signorelli, renowned for his dynamic compositions and expressive figures, began the fresco cycle around 1497. His work on the series was later continued and completed by Sodoma, who brought his own distinctive style to the project. Sodoma, known for his graceful and emotive figures, contributed significantly to the completion of the frescoes after Signorelli's departure.

"The Death of St. Benedict" captures the poignant moment of the saint's passing, surrounded by his devoted monks. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which highlights the central figure of St. Benedict, lying on his deathbed. The expressions of the surrounding monks convey a deep sense of reverence and sorrow, emphasizing the spiritual significance of the event. The fresco is notable for its detailed depiction of the monastic environment and the careful attention to the emotional states of the figures.

This work is an exemplary representation of the collaborative efforts between two prominent artists of the Renaissance, blending Signorelli's robust and dynamic style with Sodoma's delicate and lyrical approach. The fresco not only serves as a visual narrative of St. Benedict's life but also reflects the artistic and cultural milieu of the late 15th and early 16th centuries in Italy.
