            Il chiostro grande dell’Abbazia di Monte Oliveto Maggiore (Asciano Siena) venne realizzato tra il 1426 e il 1443; è completamente dipinto, sotto le volte, da affreschi riguardanti la vita di San Benedetto realizzati da Luca Signorelli (1497/1498) e da Antonio Bazzi detto Il Sodoma (dal 1505), seguendo la biografia di Benedetto scritta da San Gregorio. 
È una delle più importanti testimonianze della pittura italiana dell'epoca rinascimentale.
