"The Life of St. Benedict (Scene 10)" is a fresco that forms part of a series depicting the life of St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order. This particular scene is one of a cycle of frescoes painted in the Cloister of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in Tuscany, Italy. The series was started by Luca Signorelli in 1497 and later completed by Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, better known as Il Sodoma, in 1505.

The frescoes illustrate various episodes from the life of St. Benedict as recorded in the second book of "Dialogues" by Pope Gregory I. The tenth scene in the series, which is attributed to both Signorelli and Sodoma, showcases the artistic transition between the two painters. Signorelli's influence is evident in the robust figures and dynamic compositions, while Sodoma's contribution can be discerned in the softer forms and greater emphasis on landscape.

The fresco cycle as a whole is considered an important example of Renaissance art in Italy. The collaboration between the two artists on "The Life of St. Benedict" provides a unique opportunity to study the stylistic differences and the evolution of Italian painting at the turn of the 16th century. The frescoes are also significant for their narrative quality, effectively conveying the spiritual and moral themes central to Benedictine thought.

The tenth scene, like the others in the series, is a valuable cultural and religious artifact, offering insight into the monastic ideals of the period as well as the artistic ideals of the Renaissance. The frescoes have been the subject of art historical research and are a key attraction for visitors to the abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore.
