"Dominican Monk at his Desk" is a fresco by the Italian painter Tommaso da Modena, whose full name is Tommaso Barisino dei Giordani. Created in 1352, this artwork is part of a larger series known as the "Cycle of Forty Illustrious Members of the Dominican Order," which adorns the walls of the Chapterhouse of the Convent of San Nicolò in Treviso, Italy. Tommaso da Modena was commissioned by the Dominican friars to depict various scholars of their order as a celebration of their intellectual contributions.

The fresco portrays a Dominican monk, immersed in scholarly activity, seated at a desk with a book before him, embodying the intellectual pursuits of the Dominicans during the Middle Ages. The attention to detail in the depiction of the monk's focused expression and the realistic representation of the textures of his habit and the objects around him exemplify the emerging naturalism of 14th-century Italian art. The fresco is notable for its early portrayal of spectacles, which are placed on the desk, indicating the monk's need for visual aid during his studies.

Tommaso da Modena's work in the Chapterhouse is recognized for its departure from the Byzantine style that dominated the era, showcasing instead the early stages of the Italian Renaissance's more lifelike and humanistic art. The "Dominican Monk at his Desk" stands as a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of contemplative life and the intellectual spirit of the Dominican Order. The fresco is an important cultural artifact, reflecting both the religious and academic values of the time, and it remains a significant example of Treviso's rich artistic heritage.
