"Painting Monk" is an 1888 oil on wood painting by the Greek artist Nicholaos Gysis (1842–1901), who is renowned for his work during the Munich School art movement. The painting depicts a solitary monk engaged in the act of painting, a subject that reflects the intersection of religious devotion and artistic creation. Gysis, having studied in Munich and gained significant influence from his time there, often incorporated themes of Greek tradition, folklore, and spirituality into his work.

In "Painting Monk," Gysis showcases his technical skill and attention to detail, with a particular focus on the play of light and shadow, which adds depth and a sense of contemplation to the scene. The monk's serene expression and the quiet atmosphere of the setting evoke a sense of peaceful introspection. The artwork is a testament to Gysis's ability to convey emotional and spiritual narratives through his paintings, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre.

The painting is considered an important work in the study of 19th-century Greek art, as it exemplifies the cultural and artistic dialogues of the period, blending monastic life with the burgeoning appreciation for fine arts in Greece. "Painting Monk" is not only a reflection of Gysis's artistic prowess but also an insightful commentary on the role of art within the spiritual and cultural identity of Greece during the late 19th century.
