"The Flagellation of St. Benedict" is a significant fresco from the series "Life of St. Benedict," created by the renowned Italian Renaissance painters Luca Signorelli and Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, better known as Sodoma. This series, which vividly illustrates the life and miracles of St. Benedict of Nursia, is housed in the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in Tuscany, Italy. The frescoes were commissioned by the Olivetan monks in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, a period marked by a flourishing of religious art that sought to inspire and educate the faithful through visual storytelling.

Luca Signorelli, known for his dynamic compositions and anatomical precision, began the series around 1497. His work laid the foundation for the narrative cycle, capturing the dramatic and spiritual essence of St. Benedict's life. Signorelli's contribution to the series includes several key scenes, characterized by their vigorous movement and emotional intensity. However, due to other commitments, Signorelli left the project incomplete.

In 1505, Sodoma was commissioned to continue and complete the series. His style, noted for its softer lines and more lyrical approach, provided a complementary contrast to Signorelli's robust figures. Sodoma's frescoes are distinguished by their delicate use of color and graceful figures, which imbue the scenes with a sense of serenity and devotion.

"The Flagellation of St. Benedict" specifically depicts a poignant episode from the saint's life, reflecting the trials and tribulations he endured in his pursuit of spiritual purity and monastic reform. The fresco captures the moment of Benedict's punishment, a testament to his resilience and unwavering faith. The collaboration between Signorelli and Sodoma in this series not only highlights their individual artistic talents but also represents a harmonious blend of two distinct Renaissance styles, making the "Life of St. Benedict" a masterpiece of religious art and a significant cultural treasure.
