Hallelujah Aldege

From the cowl & hairline, I thought it would be Martin Luther. Then I got in more features, and I figured it'd be a generic monk. :)

EL R36 marks C19-21 black

C29: whichever way the 4 clue goes, the black in R19C28 is part of the 3.

C27: Whichever way the 2 clue goes, R11C26 is black.

R11: EL marks C9-10 and C21-22 white.

C10 R32-33 are white, or it causes a contradiction in C9 or C11. C11 R33-34 are also white, or it causes a contradiction in C12.

Stuck here for now, going to give this one a break.

Picking up where I left off:

C29: Whichever way the 4 goes, it will use up the 1 clue in C27. R20 and R22-27 in C27 are white. LL.

Stuck again, taking another break.

R21: If the 5 goes to C24, R14C24 is black, completing that row. This places black in R17 and R21 in C27. R21C27 is also black if the 5 does not go to C24, so it can safely be marked black. LL.

R11: If C19 is black, C17 will be invalid in 2 moves.
R11: EL v.R14 marks C17-18 white. Minimal LL.
R11: Placing the remaining 3 will at least start the remaining 3 in R12, so R12 C18-20 are white.
R11: However the 3 is placed, R12 C12-13 are white.

C9: If R12-13 are white, R14C4 would be black, completing R17. This would make R12 invalid, so R12-13 C9 must be black.

LL to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.
