About this Work

This drawing is most likely a copy after Francesco Solimena’s painting for the Benedictine Abbey of Montecassino (destroyed in World War II). The subject is Saint Maurus (d. 1584), a disciple of Saint Benedict, healing the sick during a journey to France. Saint Maurus was often invoked to combat minor diseases, such as gout.
