"The Life of St. Benedict 25" is a significant 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 depicting the life of St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of Western monasticism, and is located in the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in Tuscany, Italy. The frescoes were commissioned by the Olivetan monks in the late 15th century and completed in the early 16th century, reflecting the religious and artistic fervor of the period.

Luca Signorelli, renowned for his dynamic compositions and anatomical precision, began the series in 1497. His work on the frescoes showcases his mastery in creating vivid, expressive figures and complex spatial arrangements. Signorelli's contribution to the cycle includes several scenes that highlight his ability to convey narrative through dramatic gestures and intense emotional expressions.

Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, or Sodoma, took over the project after Signorelli's departure in 1505. Sodoma's style, characterized by softer lines and a more lyrical approach, contrasts with Signorelli's robust and energetic figures. Despite these differences, Sodoma's frescoes seamlessly integrate with Signorelli's, creating a cohesive visual narrative that spans the life of St. Benedict.

"The Life of St. Benedict 25" specifically illustrates a pivotal moment in the saint's life, capturing the spiritual and moral lessons that defined his legacy. The frescoes not only serve as religious didactic tools but also as remarkable examples of Renaissance art, blending theological themes with the era's artistic innovations.

The collaboration between Signorelli and Sodoma in this cycle is a testament to the rich artistic milieu of Renaissance Italy, where multiple artists could contribute to a single monumental project, each bringing their unique vision and style to the collective narrative. The frescoes at Monte Oliveto Maggiore remain an important cultural and historical treasure, attracting scholars and art enthusiasts from around the world.
