"Three Episodes from the Life of St Benedict (2)" is a 15th-century painting by the Italian artist Neroccio di Bartolomeo de' Landi (1447–1500), a prominent figure in the Sienese School of painting. Created in 1475, this artwork is a testament to the religious and artistic fervor of the Italian Renaissance, particularly within the context of Siena, which was a hub for devotional art and maintained a distinctive style that was often more conservative and Gothic than the Florentine or Roman schools.

The painting is part of a series that depicts various scenes from the life of St. Benedict of Nursia, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order and a central figure in the monastic movement of the Christian church. The second in the series, "Three Episodes from the Life of St Benedict (2)," illustrates key moments that highlight the saint's virtues, miracles, and his role in the establishment of monasticism in the West.

Neroccio's work is characterized by its delicate lines, refined use of color, and a harmonious blend of Gothic and Renaissance elements. His portrayal of St. Benedict would have been informed by the "Dialogues" of Pope Gregory the Great, which were the primary source of St. Benedict's biography and miracles. The painting likely served a didactic purpose, educating viewers about the saint's life and encouraging them to emulate his piety and dedication.

The specific episodes depicted in this work are not detailed in this introduction due to the lack of specific information on the individual scenes. However, typical scenes from St. Benedict's life that were commonly represented in art include his withdrawal to the wilderness, the founding of the monastery at Monte Cassino, and various miracles such as the restoration of a broken sieve or the repulsion of poison.

"Three Episodes from the Life of St Benedict (2)" would have been an object of veneration and an important component of religious instruction. It reflects the values of the period, showcasing the intersection of faith and art in a manner that was intended to inspire and educate the faithful. The painting is a significant work within Neroccio's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of Sienese painting and the broader cultural currents of the Italian Renaissance.
