About the Item
Bénédictin du Mont-Cassin - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Benedictine Monk of Monte Cassino
This 1862 hand-colored lithograph portrays a Bénédictin du Mont-Cassin, or Benedictine Monk of Monte Cassino, dressed in the characteristic black habit of the order, symbolizing humility and devotion. The monk is depicted standing contemplatively by a stone balustrade, reflecting the introspective and scholarly life of Benedictines.
The Benedictine Order, founded by Saint Benedict of Nursia in 529 at Monte Cassino in Italy, is one of the oldest monastic orders in the Catholic Church. Monte Cassino is considered the cradle of Western monasticism, and the Rule of Saint Benedict continues to guide monks in prayer, work, and study. Today, Benedictines are active in monasteries worldwide, emphasizing community, liturgy, and education.
This lithograph, part of the Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome, was created by G. Perugini and accompanied by insightful text by Père Hélyot. It vividly captures the historical and spiritual significance of the Benedictine tradition, making it an excellent choice for collectors of religious art, Catholic history, or monastic culture.
Translation of Introduction Text:
A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an even more profound interest to the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism would be born, grow, develop, and establish itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city above all others.
Virgil, in a truly prophetic verse, said: "Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento." This prophecy has seen the most noble, illustrious, and glorious developments, all conspiring for the eternal city's glory: its history, arts, monuments, and the religion at its core. Yet no other city offers such a collection, from the monuments of Augustus to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII, from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs' shrines. This union of grandeur is further illustrated daily by the magnificence of Catholic rites.
With this album, we present the splendid costumes of the Papal dignitaries and the humble attire of religious orders. These costumes were inspired by the traditions handed down through centuries and were designed with unique precision by the talented artist G. Perugini.
