H. Benedict from Nursia. Landscape with the holy Benedict, in the habt of his order. In his one hand, he holds the staff with the Wijwaterterwast (which was used for the ritual of devil tanning), in his other hand a bible with a chalice, a reference to an attempt to poison him. At his feet the broken strain, who refers to his caregiver Cyrilla that accompanied him on his journey to Rome. When she was broke a sieve that was restored by Benedictus. Left is the raven, which refers to the attempt of an envious priest to poison Benedict with bread. In the background scenes from his life. On the right he lies naked in a thorn bush to get rid of his carnal desires. Further back to the background can be seen how he returns the raven that the poisoned bread returns. Links in the background Benedict in the monastery of Monte Cassino. He has a vision of God's father and his soul carried by angels to heaven. In the margin a two-legged Bible quote from Sir. 50 in Latin.
