"Four Dominican Monks at their Desks" is a fresco by the Italian painter Tommaso da Modena, whose full name is Tommaso Barisino or Rabisino. Created in 1342, this artwork is part of a larger cycle titled "Forty Illustrious Members of the Dominican Order," which adorns the walls of the Chapterhouse in the Convent of San Nicolò in Treviso, Italy. The cycle is significant for being one of the earliest known examples of portraiture in Western art, depicting individual monks engaged in intellectual pursuits.

The fresco showcases four Dominican monks, each absorbed in scholarly activity at their respective desks. The attention to detail in the depiction of the monks, their expressions, and the objects surrounding them, such as books, quills, and inkwells, reflects the importance of learning and study within the Dominican Order. The work is celebrated for its naturalism and the way it captures the quiet, contemplative atmosphere of monastic life.

Tommaso da Modena's frescoes in the Chapterhouse are considered masterpieces of 14th-century Italian art, and they provide valuable insight into the intellectual culture of the period. The "Four Dominican Monks at their Desks" stands out within the cycle for its intimate portrayal of monastic scholarship and the individuality of the figures, marking a departure from the more stylized and symbolic representations of figures that were common in medieval art. The fresco is a testament to the evolving artistic techniques of the time and the growing interest in the depiction of the human experience.
