"The Life of St. Benedict 18" is a fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painter Luca Signorelli, with contributions from Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, known as Sodoma. This artwork is part of a larger cycle of frescoes that depict the life and miracles of St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order. The frescoes are located in the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, a Benedictine monastery situated in the region of Tuscany, Italy.

Luca Signorelli, renowned for his dramatic compositions and anatomical precision, was commissioned to work on the fresco cycle around the late 15th century. His collaboration with Sodoma, who was known for his emotive and expressive style, brought a unique blend of artistic techniques to the project. The frescoes were intended to serve both as religious inspiration and as a visual narrative of St. Benedict's life, illustrating key moments and miracles attributed to the saint.

"The Life of St. Benedict 18" specifically captures one of these significant episodes, though the exact scene depicted in this particular fresco is not universally agreed upon by art historians. The frescoes in the cycle are characterized by their vivid storytelling, dynamic figures, and rich use of color, all of which are hallmarks of the Renaissance period. The collaboration between Signorelli and Sodoma resulted in a harmonious yet diverse artistic expression, reflecting the spiritual and cultural milieu of the time.

The Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore remains a significant site for both religious pilgrimage and art historical study, attracting scholars and visitors who seek to appreciate the masterful frescoes. The cycle, including "The Life of St. Benedict 18," continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its role in conveying the spiritual legacy of St. Benedict.
