Born into a bourgeois family in The Netherlands Gregory de Wit OSB (1892-1978) was a Benedictine monk priest and artist of Mont César Abbey in Louvain Belgium. This volume is the first comprehensive consideration of the eccentric personality who is more infamous than famous. Reconciling the relatively staid art of Byzantine and Medieval traditions with the effulgent Baroque and Romantic styles his unique modern perspective is tied to the neoclassicism of the twentieth-century interbellum period. The mostly religious works of the artist adorn the walls of monasteries and churches as well as private collections in Belgium Germany The Netherlands the United States and Switzerland. Following a rather cosmopolitan gyrovague existence he settled on a remote Swiss mountain to live a life "hidden with Christ in God."
