About the piece
Painted in 1656 by Philippe de Champaigne, this luminous work depicts an angel guiding Saint Benedict to the future site of the Monte Cassino monastery. The composition balances the dark-robed figures with the celestial brightness of the angel against a meticulously rendered European landscape.
