St Benedict – Fine Art Giclée Print

Artwork by John Grimer

“Ora et Labora — Pray and Work.”

We are honoured to present this fine art Giclée print of St Benedict, beautifully reproduced from an original painting by artist John Grimer.

This powerful and reverent depiction captures St Benedict, father of Western monasticism, in a moment of calm authority and contemplation. Cloaked in a dark monastic hood, he is shown holding the Rule of St Benedict, the foundation of Benedictine spiritual life, symbolising obedience, stability, and the pursuit of holiness through humble daily labour.

In his other hand, St Benedict carries a beautifully detailed abbatial crozier, signifying his spiritual leadership and pastoral care. Surrounding the portrait are rich gold accents and Benedictine symbols, including the renowned St Benedict Medal, representing protection, peace, and the triumph of Christ over evil.

A Sacred and Striking Devotional Piece

This artwork is ideal for:

• Prayer corners and home chapels

• Benedictine oblates and those drawn to monastic spirituality

• Study spaces, libraries, or retreat rooms

• A meaningful Catholic gift of encouragement and spiritual protection

Let this artwork draw the quiet strength, wisdom, and spiritual discipline of St Benedict into your home or sacred space — a reminder to seek God in the simplicity of everyday life.
