"St. Benedict hands over the Rule of the New Order to the Monks of Monte Cassino" is a 14th-century fresco by the Italian painter Turino Vanni. The artwork is significant for its depiction of a pivotal moment in monastic history: the presentation of the Rule of Saint Benedict, which would become the foundational guide for Western monasticism. The fresco is located in the Abbey of Monte Cassino, a monastery in Italy that was founded by St. Benedict himself around 529 AD and is considered the cradle of the Benedictine Order.

The fresco captures the solemn and historic event when St. Benedict, recognized as the father of Western monasticism, delivered his set of rules, known as the "Rule of Saint Benedict," to his followers. These rules outlined the principles of communal living under the vows of obedience, stability, and conversion of life, and they emphasized the importance of prayer, work, and reading in the monastic life.

Turino Vanni, active between the late 14th and early 15th centuries, was known for his religious works and his contribution to the Gothic style of painting in Italy. His fresco of St. Benedict is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of the saint and the monks, as well as its representation of the spiritual and cultural ethos of the time. The artwork is characterized by its use of color, attention to detail, and the expressive faces of the figures, which convey the gravity and significance of the event.

The fresco has been studied for its artistic and historical value, offering insights into the religious practices and artistic conventions of the period. It remains an important cultural artifact within the Abbey of Monte Cassino and continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts interested in the early Renaissance period and the history of monasticism.
