"The Life of St. Benedict 28" is a notable 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 series depicting the life of St. Benedict, a central figure in Christian monasticism, and is located in the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in Tuscany, Italy. The frescoes were commissioned by the Olivetan monks to adorn the walls of their cloister, illustrating significant events from the saint's life as described in the "Dialogues" of Pope Gregory I.

Luca Signorelli, renowned for his dynamic compositions and expressive figures, began the series in 1497. His work on the frescoes is characterized by vigorous movement and dramatic intensity, reflecting the influence of his contemporaries, such as Piero della Francesca and Andrea del Verrocchio. Signorelli's contribution to the series includes several scenes that vividly capture the spiritual and miraculous aspects of St. Benedict's life.

Sodoma, who took over the project around 1505 after Signorelli's departure, brought a different stylistic approach to the frescoes. His work is noted for its softer, more lyrical qualities, and a greater emphasis on naturalism and emotional expression. Sodoma's frescoes complement Signorelli's robust and energetic style, creating a harmonious yet diverse visual narrative.

"The Life of St. Benedict 28" specifically depicts one of the many episodes from the saint's life, showcasing the artistic collaboration between Signorelli and Sodoma. The frescoes not only serve as a devotional and didactic tool for the monastic community but also stand as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Italian Renaissance. The series remains an important cultural and religious artifact, attracting scholars and art enthusiasts alike to the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore.
