This collaborative work is located in the Cloister of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, a Benedictine monastery in the region of Tuscany, Italy. The series of frescoes, commissioned in the early 16th century, illustrates various episodes from the life of St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order and a pivotal figure in the monastic movement of the Christian West.

The fresco "The Death of St. Benedict" captures the poignant moment of the saint's passing, surrounded by his fellow monks and disciples.
