Saint Anthony - Oil on Copper

This 18th century Spanish colonial oil on copper painting represents Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost articles, fertility, starvation, expectant mothers, amputees and shipwrecks. The opus of a trained colonial painter, Saint Anthony and the Christ Child are framed by the silhouette of a city-scape set against a blue sky and verdant landscape. Hand painted on heavy gauge copper by a skilled artisan who was clearly a master of his trade. The overall level of artistry is superlative. 

Dimensions: 9 inches x 6 inches.
