About the Item

French school of the 19th century Monks excavate and find ancient relics Oil on canvas Not signed 56 x 46.5 cm (68 x 57.5 cm with the frame) Beautiful period frame in gilded wood Good condition (some restorations - see photo of the back) This painting probably represents the "invention" (thus the rediscovery) of a saint's relics. Perhaps those of Saint Benedict because we recognize the habit of the Benedictine monks. There exists an account of the rediscovery of the relics of Saint Benedict at the monastery of Monte Cassino near Rome by an anonymous contemporary : "In the name of Christ. There was in France; a priest instructed in the school of his pious abbot. He resolved to go to Italy to seek out where the bones of the holy Father Benedict lay ungracefully buried. Finally, he arrived at a deserted place, 70 or 80 miles from Rome, where Saint Benedict had once built a monastery and strengthened it by fostering brotherly charity among those who lived there. (...) "Having then made a more careful examination of the place, they discovered a sepulchral stone, which they drilled. Having then broken it, they found themselves in the presence of the bones of the holy Abbot Benedict." (...) "God had doubtless revealed these holy relics to these pious kidnappers, in order to make the holiness of his servant more dazzling to the eyes of men. This goal was almost immediately achieved; for the linen used to enclose the body appeared to be stained with blood so crimson that one would have thought it emanated from a living body. "(published by Father Dom François Chamard, Benedictine of the Abbey of Ligugé in France (Paris, 1882)) Our painting reminds us of a work by the troubadour painter Charles Louis Lesaint entitled " Canons excavate and find ancient relics", a painting he exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1822. Charles Louis Lesaint was one of those troubadour painters often copied in his time for his anecdotal, picturesque and romantic subjects.
