"The Life of St. Benedict 5" by Luca Signorelli and Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, known as Sodoma, is a notable fresco that forms part of a larger series depicting the life of St. Benedict. This series is located in the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore in Tuscany, Italy, a significant site for the Olivetan Benedictine order. The frescoes were commissioned in the late 15th and early 16th centuries to adorn the walls of the abbey's cloister, illustrating key moments from the life of St. Benedict, the founder of Western monasticism.

Luca Signorelli, an Italian Renaissance painter renowned for his dynamic compositions and anatomical precision, began the series around 1497. His work on the frescoes reflects his mastery of human form and movement, characteristics that would later influence artists like Michelangelo. Signorelli's contribution to the series includes several scenes that capture the spiritual and miraculous aspects of St. Benedict's life.

Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, better known as Sodoma, continued the work after Signorelli left the project. Sodoma, an artist known for his emotive and expressive style, brought a different sensibility to the frescoes. His work is marked by a softer, more lyrical approach, which complements Signorelli's robust and dramatic interpretations. Sodoma's frescoes often emphasize the human and compassionate elements of St. Benedict's story.

"The Life of St. Benedict 5" specifically depicts one of the many episodes from the saint's life, showcasing the collaborative yet distinct styles of Signorelli and Sodoma. The frescoes not only serve as religious and historical narratives but also as exemplary works of Renaissance art, reflecting the transition between the early and high Renaissance periods. The series as a whole is celebrated for its artistic merit and its role in conveying the spiritual legacy of St. Benedict, making it a significant cultural and religious artifact.
