Benedictine Camaldolese Monk: A Reflection of Solitude and Contemplation, 1862

About the Item

Benedictine Camaldolese Monk: A Reflection of Solitude and Contemplation, Plate 52 This exquisite lithograph captures a Benedictine Camaldolese monk, a member of the unique branch of the Benedictine Order emphasizing solitude and asceticism. Draped in flowing, cream-colored robes, the monk exudes an air of tranquility and spiritual focus. His wide-brimmed hat, a practical addition for life in isolated monastic settings, adds a distinctive touch to the composition. The lithographer's attention to detail and shading enhances the ethereal quality of the monk’s attire, while the muted background suggests the serene landscapes of the Camaldolese hermitages. Historical Context: Founded in the 11th century by St. Romuald, the Camaldolese Order combines the communal aspects of monastic life with hermitic solitude. These monks are known for their strict adherence to contemplation, prayer, and silence, embodying the timeless Benedictine motto, *Ora et Labora* (Pray and Work). Provenance: This lithograph is part of the illustrious *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome,* created by G. Perugini and printed by A. Lemaître in Paris. Plate 52 highlights the serene existence of the Camaldolese monks, emphasizing their spiritual dedication and unique place within the Benedictine tradition.
