Saint Benedict — 12×16” Original Hand-Painted Oil Painting (Cusco School Style)

This 12×16-inch original hand-painted oil painting depicts Saint Benedict of Nursia, founder of Western monasticism and author of the Rule that shaped the spiritual life of the Church for 1,500 years.

Painted in the ornate Andean-Baroque tradition of the Cusco School, this portrait features deep tones, radiant gold detailing, and the dignified presence of a spiritual father whose wisdom has formed countless generations of monks, priests, and lay faithful.

Saint Benedict is shown holding the Rule and a crozier, symbols of his authority as abbot and teacher of disciplined, peaceful Christian living. The warm earth palette, intricate gold patterns, and expressive facial detail make this piece a powerful addition to any prayer corner, home office, monastery, or sacred space.

A striking devotional artwork that inspires order, holiness, and trust in God.
