EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white brush and pen drawing on laid paper, created by Hans von Kulmbach between 1510 and 1515, depicts Saint Benedict, the renowned Italian monk and founder of the Benedictine Order in the 6th century. Saint Benedict is shown here in his traditional attire, wearing a hooded habit and holding a rule, or staff, symbolizing his role as an abbot and spiritual leader. A halo surrounds his head, signifying his sainthood and divine connection. The background of the drawing features a landscape of buildings and houses, possibly representing a monastery setting. The intricate lettering at the bottom of the image identifies the subject as "Sanctus Benedictus," further emphasizing the religious significance of the artwork. Hans von Kulmbach, a German artist from the 16th century, was known for his mastery of brush drawing and pen and ink techniques. This beautiful and intricate drawing is a testament to his skill and the enduring influence of Saint Benedict in Christian theology and heritage. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is home to this remarkable work of art, which continues to captivate visitors with its stunning detail and historical importance. The drawing serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and religious traditions that have shaped Western culture throughout the centuries.
