"St. Benedict" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Luca Spinello Aretino, also known as Spinello Aretino, who was active during the late 14th century. The artwork is believed to depict Saint Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order and a significant figure in the Christian monastic movement. The fresco is noted for its representation of the saint, typically portrayed in monastic robes and with iconographic elements that may include a book, a raven, or a poisoned cup, reflecting episodes from his life and miracles as recounted in hagiographic literature.

While the exact location and date of the fresco's creation are not specified here, Spinello Aretino's works are primarily found in Tuscany, particularly in the cities of Arezzo and Siena. His style is characterized by vibrant colors, expressive figures, and a narrative approach that reflects the transition from the Byzantine tradition to the more naturalistic style of the early Renaissance.

The fresco would have been part of a larger decorative scheme within a religious setting, possibly a church or monastery, where the life and virtues of St. Benedict would serve as an exemplar for the monastic community. The work of Spinello Aretino is significant in the history of Italian art for its contribution to the development of fresco technique and the evolution of Gothic and early Renaissance aesthetics.

As with many medieval and early Renaissance artworks, the documentation and provenance of "St. Benedict" may be incomplete, and scholarly research continues to provide insights into the attribution, context, and interpretation of such works. The fresco's current condition, location, and any restoration history would also be of interest to art historians and conservators, contributing to the understanding of Spinello Aretino's oeuvre and the cultural heritage of the period in which he worked.
